Tom Clancy has a video game called GHOST RECONS (look it up on Wikipedia). Written years ago, it not only predicted Russia’s invading Georgia, but it predicted the year and the month of the invasion. I don’t play video games but are there any stories along these lines?

If Putin gets his hands on yet another oil pipeline expect the price of oil to go skyhigh. Have you signed the DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW petition yet?

Tiny Israel was attacked by the entire Arab world soon after becoming a nation. And she beat them all in what? six days? Afghani tribal warriors living a primitive life out of the middle ages — but trained and equipped with OUR stinger missiles and satellite phones –defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan.

Things may initially go well for Putin but this is still a “Soviet” military. Russians used the word “soviet” to describe things that didn’t work, appliances that broke down, etc.
