Exactly. My suspicion is they could have done this not even an hour after charlie kirk was killed if all they needed is public support. They could have mobilized troops there and then whilst they had so much goodwill and thirst for revenge amongst the base and even normies. When the danger was high and justification in plain view. Except they just let the window close and the opportunity slip on by.

Instead, we now have to wait til January because... reasons? idk
