Ok, my question is this: WTF happened in the game?  I am trying to understand a few things:

1. What happened with Sheppherd?  He ends up a traitor? See my next item.  And pardon myself if I got the name wrong.

2. Only thing in retrospect I can guess is this: After the nuke was launched over Washington, DC, ending up as an EMP pulse, it was killed a bunch of Americans, and stopped the Russians cold, plus also was meant to generate sympathy for the United States.  It was a triggered tit-for-tat, meant to cause the war to end.  However, Sheppherd got annoyed by this and felt it was necessary to end up turning it into a cause of war.  He knows what happened, and ends up kiling off individuals involved, as to not let the word get out. 

3. How exactly did the terrorist attack by Makarov (pardon the name if it is mispelled), exactly cause the chain of events to unfold.  Just because you have one rogue American in it, means that America was responsible?  It looked like plot writing by someone who creates videogames, not an actual writer.

Can someone explain what happened and the above points?  Thanks.
