SPOILERS! Jack Ryan Season 2, what was really unrealistic SPOILERS!

wasn't all the military action in Venezuela. It was a corrupt, criminal Senator was actually arrested at the end.

We seem to re-elect them and make them Senate Leader.

...I think that most Americans, in their hearts, still think we live in a Capraesque world in which virtue triumphs, and the villains get their comeuppance in the last reel. But we all live in Pottersville now...

Not a fan. Not sending a dime his way, even if indirectly. Just my two cents...enjoy your TV.

IMO it was Clancy that gave the idea of destroying the White House with airliners to Al-Qaeda in Debt of Honor.

but the producers of this series were clearly making a symbolic connection between the Venezuelian Dictator in this series and Trump.

Besides, Clancy died 7 years ago.

I don't believe Jim in this role at all. He's a great paper salesman and definitely took a class to make him seem dramatic but he's about the least believeable cia spy action hero guy ever.

Instead they should have him do a show where he owns his own company now, and it's 15 years after he left Dunder Mifflin, and he is married to Pam but is still pretty much playing Jim. Maybe Dwight owns a competing company across town and they all have to interact. It would be great.
