Why are people downplaying the plausibility of the story in this game, i actually find it quite refreshing and its a definite change of pace from the usual Russia vs America (with america always being the good guy). People do not realize that Americas fall doesn't mean an invasion and frankly no army is large enough to invade the USA right now, but America is filled with a bunch of lazy people (not generalizing, please don't ban me), the country depends too much on other people's blood and sweat yet they don't recognize those people; (FACT- 63 percent of Americans aged 18 to 24 cant locate Iraq or Sudan in a map. "Young Americans just don't seem to have much interest in the world outside of the U.S.," said David Rutherford, a specialist in geography education at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C) If china cut their shipments to the United States the economy will tank, if Saudi Arabia or Nigeria cease their oil(gas) shipment to the US the economy will also tank. America needs to start working and developing their own products because in the case of a major war with any of the above countries they (America) will surely fall, and besides no major world power lasts for long. The last world power that lasted for a considerable amount of time was Egypt.
