Forum:Makarov was working with Shephard/U.S. MIC?

I was recently replaying the Modern Warfare series, and something occurred to me: are the developers conspiracy theorists? A couple of plot points stand out to me: In conclusion: Makarov the Inner Circle, Shadow company, are all CIA assets. Mind=BLOWN.
 * General Shepherd masterminded World War III, and was a senior U.S. military official.
 * Shadow Company sounds a lot like 'Shadow Government' - a possible reference to the U.S. Deep-State/Military-Industrial Complex that Ike warned about in his farewell address.
 * The "Russian Army" was working for Makarov and his terrorist organization.
 * Makarov and the airpower massacre were constructs of the Central Intelligence Agency, General Shephard, and the Shadow company, designed to railroad the Russian nationalist movement formed by Imran Zakhaev.
 * Imran Zakhaev wasn't a villain, he was an anti-hero - and Makarov was, perhaps, working for the CIA alongside Allen the entire time.
 * After the Inner Circle bioterrorist attacks in Europe, the subsequent European countries declare war on Russia, and it is shortly thereafter that the Russian President is kidnapped by Makarov.
