    Didn’t the 2019 modern warfare blame the Highway of Death on Russia, and portrayed the American occupation of Afghanistan as being committed by the Russians too?

      That yes, politically that’s all skewed, but I’d sooner be looking at things like: (off the top of my head)

      spoilers?

      unsanctioned black ops

      torture as means of interrogation

      mock execution as means of interrogation

      use of banned weapons

      police not acting upon upcoming terrorist attack intelligence

      Hadir releasing the gas (and you can kind of understand why)

      & in 2022, the highlight was pretty big on how PMCs are terrible (although, well, it was specifically just the Shadow Company; coming to the idea that they are generally bad may be harder)

      as well as the missiles belonging to the United States, and so on.

      It’s not much, but it doesn’t feel like it paints the West in a squeaky clean light like games usually tend to; a game where they wouldn’t do that nowadays would probably be amazing (but sadly not sell very well or even be allowed to launch I’d imagine).
