It's just a game, it always has been, and always will be.
It's a game with a good story. For me C&C is my favorite non-existand good book (seeming I don't read books anyway)

Actually, all C&C's were part of the C&C story (TD, RA and TS; including all expansions except for the covert operations), until Westwood Pacific took over. Like I said they first tried to seperate RA from TD, but now they want to connect them again (probably because the connections between RA1 and TD are undenyable).
Because of Westwood Pacific's ignorance (sorry I call it that, but that's really what it is), they also made a C&C which didn't even fit or could be fit in the in the C&C story; Generals. There's no way you can connect C&C Generals and EA Pacific (who used to be Westwood Pacific) doesn't even claim it's connected and I highly doubt they'll try to do so (because they wouldn't even be able to if they wanted to). Looking at what happened to the C&C story after Westwood Pacific took over, I think they should've never touched the story in the first place. They just don't appear to care about what has already been established; this became obvious when they made RA2 and tried to seperate the RA universe from the C&C (tiberium) universe and this is becomming even more obvious now they're working on C&C3.
Anyway, there was no Japan in RA and there was no Japan in RA2.
Remember the developement of technology was more successful and for all you know America's technology became so advanced Japan didn't even dare to attack America... Or Japan was so happy about their advanced technology, their emperor was in such a good mood he decided not to attack America

Aside from that, we were judging a war between the soviet union and the allies in Europe. There always could've been a war going on in America/Japan(/in between) simuntaniously.
