‘The Simpsons’ predicted Russian invasion of Ukraine | New York Post

This “Simpsons” prediction wasn’t funny.

Often credited with predicting Superbowl outcomes among other light-hearted events, “The Simpsons” has most recently been credited on social media for anticipating something not so humorous: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Following to the tragic event, astute Twitter users analogized the conflict to a 1998 episode in the prophetic series called “Simpson Tide.” In it, Homer accidentally fires a submarine captain into Russian waters during a military exercise, prompting a newly resuscitated Soviet Union to deploy troops and tanks to the streets and instantly resurrect the Berlin Wall.

Let's be honest everyone actually searched for this

Let’s be honest, The Simpson have predicted every major event in the world. It’s the new Nostradamus

I love this show, but this is not a prediction at all: no mention of Ukraine even. Its just a funny imagining of a situation that would be relatively easy to imagine for a comedic writer i.e the soviet union "faked" disbanding and now they're back and better than ever, baby!! The "russian return" has been a source of comedy and fiction for decades.

This is not a prediction, it is a script.
Well played, America!

Alex Jones predicted ot back In October. Said it would happen in February of this year. Another thing he was right about

[abielgabriel]

The whole thing is not exactly the prediction. What the episode is trying to say is that Russia might be reforming the Soviet Union again, *starting with Ukrain* (atleast thats what i think)

[marcellix]

The Simpson's predictions are crazy lol most came true!!

[AncientGreek]

It's barely a prediction when you know what's going to happen, because they're part of the club

[theslavicguy]

It doesn't say anything about Ukraine!!

[Hero_Of_Simpsons]

"WE WANTED YOU THINK THAT!" 🤣😂🤣

[Airman]

So... Which prediction came true? The Soviet Union has not reunited. The Berlin wall has not returned. Vladimir Lenin has not been reanimated with a desire to crush capitalism. Is the prediction that Russia is bad? I'm struggling to follow this one...

[britanimations]

Oh yeah, because I remember last week when the Berlin Wall was put back up and when they literally resurrected a corpse

[kikyono]

Putin must love watching The Simpsons animation.

[cadillacchris]

How did they predict the invasion of Ukraine when the Simpson clip has nothing to do with Ukraine……

[alexphillips]

The Simpsons always predict the future. It's scary accurate.

[Jonathan-qvch]

So let me get this straight, you think that just because Russia invaded Ukraine that the Soviet Union is back?

[softleywifey]

No prediction! Just preplanned and laughing in our faces!!!

[lildeezn]

now, simpsons writers, make an episode where I get rich!

[lochdedy]

The Simpsons have a knack for predicting interesting things.

[elecologosocialpy]

That's was a joke about Russian Resurgence. Not a prediction. Was after Putin's Candidacy, because he was a part of KGB. For that cause was the joke.
