One reason Q mentions Red October could be the climax when James Earl Jones, who I believe was NSA, instructs a Navy seaman to self-destruct the torpedo that was about to hit the Red October. Then Jones' character flashes his badge and says something like "You heard the torpedo hit the hull, and I was never here."
All that to say it's possible the white hats self-destructed the ICBM.

So, a scene in a movie dictated what happened?
That's like saying Godfather 3 is the reason the Vatican is corrupt. Try again.
So ... Q put that scene in Red October? James Earl Jones is Q? What the hell are you even saying?
The movie reference is a hint toward an explanation, just like his other movie references.
You're either trying to be difficult or you're a shill.
