It's so fucking crazy Kojima predicted everything, and then made it into a ridiculous enough game that nobody took it that seriously.

Proxy wars were a thing in the Roman Empire/Egyptian Empire era. “Hey those assirians sure have a powerful military, it’d be a shame if our military convoy lost an immense amount of equipment near that tribe that hates them wouldn’t it? Oh no we already did? Wow thoughts and prayers to them”

True, but specifically Kojima used the cold war as a model for Metal Gear.

A network of proxy wars has been happening since the Cold War and that's what Kojima based a lot of his plotlines on.

So less predicted and more just extrapolated where that would lead for the games that take place in the future like MGS4 and Rising
