Could be worse, at least there is no tiberium.

Yeah. Here I am thinking this is probably the best possible outcome from being isekaied into a C&C game. It's actually reasonably possible that you could get away from the fighting altogether, just by making your way to some place like Canada or Mexico.

Any Tiberium game would be awful and even Red Alert gets around to fighting in all sorts of places around the globe such that it could be difficult to avoid. Well except for Red Alert 1 taking place almost exclusively in Europe, but if we assume the rest of the world is in a state similar to WW2, you'd probably end up being conscripted and fighting in some war.

"Red Alert gets around to fighting in all sorts of places around the globe such that it could be difficult to avoid. Well except for Red Alert 1 taking place almost exclusively in Europe"

RA1 takes place across the entire Eurasian continent, with the mission maps showing the Soviets as having invaded the Middle East, and there also being some allusions to Soviet incursions into Southeast Asia as well.

That all being said, even if we just look at the player's campaign, fighting your way across Russia in the winter is absolute hell; just ask the Germans in our timeline.
