I mean, it's not that I don't see where you're coming from (I'm Vietnamese), but I think the actual events of the movie prove that this isn't the case.

Team Iron Man is the pro-government side in this. The man running point on the Accords, Ross, is the in-universe US Secretary of State. He has a black site prison in the middle of the ocean where prisoners are taken and detained without trial. All of this sounds mighty familiar, don't you think?

In fact, watching Civil War, I was actually bothered by how little involvement the US government seemed to have in the Sokovian Accords debacle. Considering that the Avengers are based on US soil and that most of the members are US citizens (Rhodey is even a commissioned Air Force Colonel), I felt that the US would've had a real interest in undermining the UN. If anything, they would have been using their Security Council veto power to fight the Accords and cutting a deal to keep the Avengers under their control. Maybe the revelation of Ross's offshore prison is the film's acknowledgement of that.
