In MW2, Makarov makes it look like the CIA was behind the airport massacre. (Nevermind what the CIA would have to gain by gunning down civilians in an airport...) This fires up the Russians and they invade the US. But in MW3, it's revealed that Yuri was there at the airport, tried to stop Makarov, was shot, and was saved by Russian first responders. If Yuri was there to explain everything, then doesn't that blow a huge hole in Makarov's plan? Did I miss something? I know writing was never a strong point in either CoD franchise, but this is kind of a big plot hole.
I bet the idea is that Yuri DIDN'T tell anyone about the plan thinking the Russian government wouldn't believe him. He was after all not part of the military and has ties with Makarov. They would have arrested him right away and locked him up like they did with Price.
