The animated film “The Simpsons” often appears in the headlines of the world media with various predictions of important events of world importance. This happened once again with the war in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022. Observant fans of the series noticed that a hint of such a development in Ukraine was made in an episode from 1998, writes woman.bg. In it, Homer Simpson mistakenly fired a cannon into Russian waters during a military exercise, prompting the Soviet Union to deploy its troops and tanks so that it could re-lay the foundations of the Berlin Wall.

The prophecy was confirmed by one of the founders of The Simpsons, Al Jean, who tweeted: “I am very sad to say that this was not difficult to predict.” “It’s awful to say, but I was born in 1961, so 30 years of my life have passed with the ghost of the Soviet Union,” Jean added in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. “So unfortunately for me this is the norm rather than the prediction. We just guessed that things would get worse, “added the animator. “Historical aggression never goes away, so we must be extremely vigilant. In 1998, when this episode was released, relations between America and Russia were at their zenith. “Since then, Putin has proved to almost everyone that he is a bad person and that bad things are about to happen,” he said.
