"If you look at Tom Clancy's output during that time he goes absolutely schizophrenic in the absence of a real enemy of America. He writes about neo-Nazi bankers, STASI hardliners, the IRA, and even Japanese nationalists. He thought that Vladimir Putin's ascendancy would put America on a path to long"
Action movies made during the End of History are really funny. · u/Burnnoticelover · ↑86 · 2024-06-25
"But compared to something like, idk, Beirut (2018) or any movie that tries to depict a historically complex issue in the last 5-10 years and it just feels like Tom Clancy wrote them."
"Also, my dad recently told me that in the 90's, he was at some kind of milsurp store or gun shop and bought a book that he thought had a cool cover, like it was a Tom Clancy novel or something. It was *The Turner Diaries*."
