Sean Penn is one of those strange fellows who is wrong about EVERYTHING. Yet he played a terrorist in one of Tom Clancy movies and Mr. Clancy is notorious for being right about everything. In an interview to Playboy magazine nevertheless he told that CIA is wrong and Soviet Union is going to collapse soon. And it did! The last book before he died was about Russia invading the world and USA not being ready for it.
I have always enjoyed Tom Clancy’s work, but IIRC, he is a bit of a liberal, or so I am told.
Sean Penn is just reprehensible. Gah!
Here is Clancy’s Playboy interview.
I’m not aware of anyone credible predicting the collapse of the Russian empire, and I don’t see it in this interview, is it in there?
