You are an American agent planted in a group of terrorists to infiltrate them. They aren't Russian's attacking the US. You are in a Russian airport. Look at the signs! For the "Greater Good", the CIA or whatever has given you permission to mow down hundreds of civilians in cold blood if that's what it takes to gain the trust of and take down the head terrorist who happens to be standing right next to you while you have a gun in your hand so why don't you just kill him in the first place?
When he kills you, the Russians find only the body of the US agent in the airport full of dead people and therefore blames the Americans and assumes the U.S. has declared war on Russia by attacking a Russian airport terminal to mow down civilians.
In retaliation (seems we've all forgotten about nukes and mutually assured destruction) the Russian army invades suburban America by sending down millions of tanks and paratroopers to attack every Burger King in America.
This starts WWIII. The American soldiers are fighting on their own land trying to stop the millions of Russians throwing down their lives to blow up the nearest gas station/diner/grill. The other characters you play are British agents going around the world (and in space!) trying to clear the name of the Americans by capturing targets and gathering intel.
That's the story. I'm serious. It's not hard to understand it. All you have to do is stop using your brain and pretend that you are 5 years old and the story makes perfect sense. It's not that it's confusing, it's just utterly ridiculous and stupid.
