Personally, I think the guys at IW are genius for making this. I mean, this is probably the most controversial and most shocking FPS mission of all time. It really developed Makarov's character unlike in CoD4, where Zakehev's character is pretty much non existent. Sure, you are murdering 100s of civilians, but do you think the game would be the same and have the same impact without it? I praise you IW for making one of the most in depth FPS storylines ever and most defining mission in a FPS.
"no russian" is meaning they don't want to speak russian because they want to fool everyone that they are americans
Sheperd was the command in chief in CoD4 when you get nuked, thats why at the end of the game he said "5 years ago i watched 30,000 people die, and the world just fucking watched"
