Set in South Ossetia and Moscow at one point. Not Rainbow Six but like that.
Are you thinking of Operation Flashpoint: Coldwar Crisis?

From what I've read about this "war" is that it's Russia telling the West to question the possibility of Georgia in NATO. If they were in NATO, Canada would be at war with Russia now.

Also, Russia considers Georgia a terrorist state (direct comparison to US vs Iraq/Iran). The US is basically neutered in this situation, especially during an election year. Bush cannot react with any sort of military response without tanking his own party in the election.
