I believe we saw a major battle(s) over the past 36 hours. Threats and realized violence is response to the MOAB information being exposed.
Q said there have been major threats. Bare Minimum POTUS ordered special operations to conduct offensive preemptive strikes against known cabal staging places and people to prevent Terrorist acts designed to distract from the information which will be released this comming week.
Combine that with the Cabal going through it's own operations cadence and death throws last ditch effort to avert the impending disaster that will visit their empire.
Alot of kenetic operations, blood, death, sacrifice. This is evident in Qs message to the world, we may not yet know what has transpired but it was definitely solemn and sobering.
Giving orders to men to go a die in order to execute your objectives is a VERY tough thing, however one must look beyond the loss and see that it is an HONOR to give this command. The commander gives his men's lives purpose beyond what we can understand.
