Watch the latest trailer...look at the storyline. I think you are dead right. Otherwise; this makes NO sense.
Do you know what the plotline was? A man is in the Oval Office who is not an American citizen. He is a manchurian candidate who turns over the security of the USA to Cobra. GI Joe team is betrayed and many are killed. The survivors look to a legendary leader and the original joe Bruce Willis to lead them against this president and his Cobra goons.
