One of the most famous and enduring lines of dialog in videogames is the prophetic utterance of Carl "CJ" Johnson in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: "Ah shit, here we go again." It's a feeling I can relate to, because the US government is once again using videogames to promote its policies and activities, this time its war against Iran—and yes, it's using that famous Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas clip to do it.
The first such clip actually went up a few days ago: A message posted by the official White House account on March 4 features the text "courtesy of the red, white, and blue," and a video that splices Call of Duty gameplay with real-world clips, including footage of strikes and explosions taken from the US war again Iran.
