* [[America Saves the Day]]: Played with. The United States does eventually lead the way in the Allied campaign, albeit after receiving aid from the Allies in Europe. Something that Gen. Carville only begrudgingly relents to, as Americans needn't ask for help. In ''Yuri's Revenge'' meanwhile, President Dugan outright boasts to Yuri that "we won the war."
* [[Awesome Personnel Carrier]]: The Battle Fortress and IFV are awesome in their own way. The IFV can change armaments depending on the troop type it is carrying; the Battle Fortress can crush other vehicles!

* [[Badass]]: The Hollywood actors that help the Allied commander during the Hollywood mission in ''Yuri's Revenge'' are fairly badass in their own right.

** Towards the end of the Allied campaign, the Cuban Missile Crisis is recreated. Except this time around, the Soviets and Allies are already at war and the outcome doesn't result in nuclear apocalypse.

* [[Human Resources]]: Yuri's Bio-Reactors from the ''Red Alert 2'' expansion. They don't generate much power on their own, but "garrison" infantry in them and they become some of the best power plants in the game.

* [[Obvious Judas]]: {{spoiler|Yuri, for the Soviet Union}}. There's something suspicious about him from the very beginning, and he only gets more suspicious as the game goes on. By the time it gets the point that {{spoiler|Premier Romanov}} is murdered, it's already blatantly obvious that he has an agenda. Then comes his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=U2eRHyQnVSU#t=201s 'proof'] that {{spoiler|General Vladimir}} is responsible. Miraculously, the player character still seems to see nothing wrong.

* [[Washington DC Invasion]]: The Soviet campaign has the Commies invading America's capital ''twice.'' The second time being, at Yuri's orders, to eliminate Vladimir, who's taken up residence in the White House.
