I really didn't over dramaticize Gideon. In crash, he says something along the lines of, "I didn't want to believe what you said about Irons, but what he's done goes against everything I believe in." And I'm not giving the game credit for anything, I'm saying that they had potential for good characters but failed.

Also, their motives for hating the US (not the UN, don't understand where you're getting that from) is the same as every Russian bad guy since the end of the Cold War. "Soviet Russia has become too westernized! Down with America!"

And how do the MW series make any more sense? Based off of one dead American, the Ultranationalist (ya know, the guys Makarov is fighting for) Russian government invades the United States by somehow moving around all of Europe without anyone noticing. Not to mention that this attack wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the fact that a US satellite with the codes for their air defense system just happened to crash in Russian territory; keep in mind that Russia wasn't an enemy of the US at this time. Makarov kidnaps the President of Russia for stopping a war with the US (keep in mind that everything bad that happened to the Ultranationalists in MW1 were caused by the British SAS, not the US and that the President of Russia is on the same side that Makarov was on in MW2). Then, after a very expensive war that devestated one of the world's largest economic centers, the US capital, most of the East Cost and destoryed an entire fleet of Russian warships, Russia then somehow has the man power to sweep through Europe and reach France. And their reasoning for doing that is...is...welll just that they're evil Russians.
