The great thing about having your story set nearly 25 years in the future is that anything can happen. Russia is actually quite a powerful nation. If that power they have now was in the hands of a terrorist group, it could wreak some havoc. Think about the fact that they were successful in MW2 in their attempts to invade America. It seems likely that fueled by the distraction of such an event, they could just steamroll their way into other nations.
