- In World War II, Russians (The Soviet Union) helped out British and American forces. The Soviets didn't do it because they wanted an alliance, though, but simply so that the major threat (German Nazis) could be eliminated.
- After World War II, the Soviet Union did as expected, and broke the agreements made at the Yalta Conference, a meeting between Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. These events led to the Cold War.
- Russia and the United States were enemies during the Cold War, an era that does indeed consist of the Vietnam War. For the Russians to be allies to a country fighting communism would make no sense, as that was the main goal of the Soviet Union: Spread communism.
I don't exactly know where the Russians fit into the Vietnam War, but considering the game will take place in Vietnam, as well as other places, I don't think it's very surprising that the Russians are acting as enemies.
Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 have no historical accuracy, considering they are set in the future.
So like what?? the Russians were mainly here for the Americans?? i know you don't know why, but that what i think, and i don't see how Vietnam was involved in this...
