Be fucking patient
You know maybe you're right. But, that's also the best way to combat this kind of enemy.
You don't want people, in a situation like this, to know what your next move will be. Why not take away the one big promise you made to your people for the whole audience to see? Think about that. What real reasons could Q be "abandoning" us on this?
Disinformation
>Guys they're all demoralized right now. It's the perfect time to do something sneaky.
I guarantee the timeline has changed more than what we're privy to.
The timeline changing under these circumstances means a lot. The fact that this was a cornerstone promise from Q makes it that much more important. We can put this down as a continued win should Q be real. Should Q be not real, it doesn't really fit, wouldn't you say?
it always does around this time..
