Sorry, I think this deserves a thread of its own . . . this is just too strange.
Irony, coincidence, or something else?
Ghost Recon was released in 2001 on the Xbox gaming console.
--Ghost Recon begins in August 2008, with civil unrest in Russia. Ultra-nationalists have seized power in Moscow, with plans to rebuild the Iron Curtain. Their first step is clandestine support of rebel factions in Georgia and the Baltic States. This storyline foreshadows the 2008 South Ossetia War. This is where the Ghosts come in: to silence the rebellion. Armed with some of the most advanced weaponry in the world, the soldiers of the Ghost Recon force are covertly inserted into Eastern Europe and given specific missions to curtail the rebel actions and overthrow their benefactors.
During the first few missions of the game, the Ghosts battle South Ossetian rebel forces from the north of Georgia, who are harassing the legitimate government and its allies.--
WTH? Freeeaaaky

VP *edit* Cheney, War Mastermind, used to work for UBISoft, makers of Ghost Recon. He was involved in selling this $50 'training simulation' for millions to the former Republics of the Soviet Union. He told them if they were to win they have to do it just like in the simulation!
