You see, that doesn't fly with me. You asked for a scenario where you could play as an invading force on US soil, and Red Alert 2 is a perfect example of this. Sorry, but they didn't have access to the graphics technology that is considered so commonplace today 10 years ago. Instead, they used live actors to record cut scenes.
The idea in the game was still there, and it was pretty damn obvious that the developers were depicting an outside force invading the United States, regardless of "cartoony graphics" (during a time when they lacked the technology to create something more realistic.) Look at the video I linked. They said to capture the "capitalist shrine," the world trade center, and the first mission on the Soviet campaign involves you destroying the Pentagon.
Not sure how it gets any more blunt than that.
