When life imitates video games

Since my gaming skills topped out around Super Mario 3 (with a Game Genie, I might add), I didn't notice the parallels between the current situation in Russia and Georgia and video games.  But, apparently, there are some (link in the original):

(I'm not kidding in the headline about the odd similarity to Tom Clancy's original Ghost Recon game, which had U.S. special forces secretly going into... T'bilisi, Georgia to deal with Russian invasion forces backed by ultra-nationalist hardliners. The "future date" of the 2001 game was... August 2008.)
Well, I'd like to say more, but I have to go put on a raccoon suit and try to fly.
