Tom Clancy might be this generation's Nostradamus. Although off by about three months, the first level in 2001's Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is eerily familiar to the past week's events, where Russia and South Ossetian rebels have been fighting with Georgia. Unlike Ghost Recon, however, there has been no signs of US special forces armed with technologically advanced firepower and controlled by a mysterious "player."
Scholars are already sifting through The Great Texts in anticipation of any potential conflicts in 2014 Mexico City.

ROFL... wow, this guy ignorant. Keep eating that spoon fed media. We've had over 10k troops there for years.

They may not have technologically advanced firepower, but slashdot had an article a few days ago about how Russia is adding cyberwarfare to the mix. Their computer underground is running botnets to do DDoS attacks on the Georgian government's official websites. It's only a matter of time before the majority of war takes place online.

There's no sign of Ghost Recon because THEY'RE GHOSTS! They're just that good

No sign of them? That's what they want you to think.

Actually US troops have been in Georgia since July 15th, about a month before the conflict started. And we do have superior firepower.

South Ossetia declared its independence back in the early 90's. Ghost Recon predicted nothing.
