Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II: Campaign begins by spectacularizing a US international crime

Call of Duty

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II campaign, already accessible by those who have pre-ordered the game, begins in a decidedly controversial way: by making a show of one of the most recent international crimes committed by the United States, as reported by our colleague Gianluca Musso (see source ) and verifiable by anyone who has the game.

Warning, because we are about to give a preview of the start of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. If you don't want to have any, avoid reading.

Basically, in a mission the player can drive the missile that on January 3, 2020, when Donald Trump was still president, killed the Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, one of the most influential men in the country. From 1998 until his death, Soleimani was head of the Niru-ye Qods, the unit of the Revolutionary Guards, which had the task of spreading Khomeinist ideology outside the Islamic Republic.

Definitely controversial figure, at least for Western optics, Soleimani was killed in retaliation by a US drone during an attack on Baghdad International Airport. It was the American response to some attacks suffered in the previous days, one at Kirkuk K-1 Air Base on December 29, 2019 and the other at the US Embassy in Baghdad on December 31, 2019.

Whatever you think of it , it is right to underline that for the umpteenth time the Call of Duty series has been used to normalize towards the general public what many consider a war crime of the United States, that is essentially to make propaganda.
