Homefront being a game concerned with North Korea's invasion of the United States after the death of Kim Jung Il
You've gotta be kidding me... This is a million times more ridiculous than the Modern Warfare II plot.
Look, if you americans are so keen on being invaded, please stick to the aliens. That is a thousand times more plausible than the Russia or North Korea scenario.
they explain it in logical steps
Ah, I see. So the North Koreans have allied themselves with the aliens and are using their advanced technology to infiltrate the U.S.?
I guess that would make sense. I see no other way how one of the piss-poorest nations on this planet could otherwise get even a single troop carrier over the pacific without hitting an iceberg on the way.
They explain it. Kim Jung Il dies and is replaced by his son, who is (according to Homefront) a lot better. He brings North and South Korea together and into an economic powerhouse, while the US is declining and pulling back due to (amongst over things) rising oil prices.
Then Korea puts out a satellite that they say is for media purposes, but actually detonates an EMP blast over the western half of the US.
The Ohio-class submarines, carrying about 50% of America's nuclear warheads, are capable of rapid targeting using secure and constant at-sea communications links, and would not be affected by EMP blasts. They constantly patrol troubled waters. One of the major plot hole there.
Also, becoming the most prominent powerhouse in less than ten years? That's kind of insulting to the decades of careful planning, structuring and policy-making that current superpowers had to undergo to achieve today's position.
Not that it really matters. If the gameplay is good and innovative, no reason to get hung up on the story. CoD:MW's story sucked ten times more, but I loved it purely for the MP and cinematic progression.

it had too do with budget cuts on the American army (seeing that Obama seems to care for the people instead of war mongering it seems like a logical step) Korea isnt that far from the USA making a attack also plausible. Its explained on Wikipedia
Umm, you
do know that Obama has actually been
increasing the military budget, right?
For the 2010 fiscal year, the president's base budget of the Department of Defense rose to $533.8 billion. Adding spending on "overseas contingency operations" brings the sum to $663.8 billion.
When the budget was signed into law on October 28, 2009, the final size of the Department of Defense's budget was $680 billion, $16 billion more than President Obama had requested. An additional $37 billion supplemental bill to support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was expected to pass in the spring of 2010, but has been delayed by the House of Representatives after passing the Senate. Defense-related expenditures outside of the Department of Defense constitute between $319 billion and $654 billion in additional spending, bringing the total for defense spending to between $1.01 and $1.35 trillion in fiscal year 2010.
For 2011, budget spending might rise to $1.449 trillion. - Wikipedia
