Tom Clancy predicted the South Ossetian conflict in Georgia
From RIA-Novosti:
Tom Clancy, author of the Hunt for Red October and a host of other military themed thrillers, predicted the South Ossetian conflict seven years ago. His story, describing Russia coming to the rescue of the South Ossetians and sending tanks into Georgia, was used in a computer game.
Check out the RIA-Novosti story, Tom Clancy predicted the South Ossetian conflict, to see the news report. I couldn’t rip the movie, and they don’t give an embed link. Get with the times Russian Information Agency-News!!! Kommersant allows you to embed, they understand the power of JJ (LiveJournal in Russian is JJ, Zhivoi Zhurnal). Oh, the virtues of capitalism.
“This game was very popular in Georgia. So popular that it was decided to make it real. Fortunately Tom Clancy turned out to be just a writer, not a prophet.”
Oh, RIA…I don’t even know what to say to that.
