The 1998 “Simpson Tide" episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z77JFw2D6f8) depicted a Russian invasion. “In terms of predictions, there are two kinds we have: The trivial, like Don Mattingly getting in trouble for his hair in 'Homer at the Bat,'" The Simpsons showrunner Al Jean tells The Hollywood Reporter. "And then there are predictions like this. I hate to say it, but I was born in 1961, so 30 years of my life were lived with the specter of the Soviet Union. So, to me, this is sadly more the norm than it is the prediction. We just figured things were going to go bad.”
