From tomorrow's Q clock, it mentions the sum of all fears. Could this be a reference to the movie. A lot of the countries in play are the same.

Israeli bomb recovered from the downed plane, Russia had the old soviet facility in Ukraine, one of the bad guys was from Damascus, Neo-nazi united Europe was supposed to take over, etc.

Maybe it's nothing but then we've got stuff from white squall so movie references aren't exactly out of bounds here.
