The Federation? "Fuck it, we're EVIL!" Between their lack of motivation, characters and just general absence of distinguishing traits, these guys could be anyone really.
Here's another Headscratcher is it ever really explained why the Federation is attacking the United States to begin with? Seriously, what's their motivation for taking on a superpower and bombing it from orbit? With all the other Call of Duty antagonists, we at least got a general sense of what these people wanted, and they seemed to have something approaching a goal in mind.I'm going with the Red Alert 3 explanation: they had a bunch of troops carry it overland to the lake.The mission takes place in Patagonia, so perhaps it was simply a frozen over fjord or waterway?.Maybe the US got it from the same guys who gave the Russians their teleporting armoured divisions in Modern Warfare 3?.Obviously it is a teleporting submarine.Said submarine then proceeds to sail them to an oil platform off Antarctica. Breaking through the ice on a lake, IN THE ANDES MOUNTAINS. At the end of the mission they are exfiltrated by an ATTACK SUBMARINE.

So our heroes go in, infiltrate the facility, shoot a lot of people, and download data before grabbing vehicles and escaping the facility whilst being chased by Federation FA Vs and snowmobiles across what seem to be frozen streams and lakes. Remind me: the mission "Clockwork" takes place in a Federation facility high in the Andes, according to the mission briefing.Perhaps they're the final last resort, to be used if all conventional military options fail and defeat is inevitable.I would've said that the Federation destroyed US Strategic nuclear forces (like missile silos and submarine bases) with hijacked ODIN, but it's never explicitly stated, so it's still a plothole.Because Killing Civilians Will Not Be Tolerated and would have got them a Non Standard Game Over.Also, there probably was a huge backlash against nuclear weapons since it's implied that's what destroyed the Middle East. It's quite possible they put all their eggs in one basket and decommissioned their nuclear weapons when they built ODIN, figuring that was all the security they needed.Presumably, the Americans decided to go with the advice of Oppenheimer: "Better to accept the slavery of the Nazis than to run a chance of drawing the final curtain on mankind." Although that assumes that the South Americans have a comparable nuclear stockpile to make a retaliatory strike and that somehow the rest of the Nuclear Powers were suckered into fighting purely "local" (if we consider the Americas local) war.
There comes a point where you can't make the entire region deader then it is. It wouldn't even make sense to say the US launched ALL its nukes at the mid east. Even assuming ODIN wiped out all the ICBM Silos before they could launch, that still leaves the entire submarine launched nuclear arsenal.
Why doesn't the US nuke the Federation? Seriously once civilian casualties start hitting 6 figures I think it justifies the nuclear option.
