Well, the interior cover blurbs of these few earliest issues state that "Cobra wasted no time" in setting their plans in motion. The plan was called: "Long-Term Strategy and Order of Battle for Operations in the Continental United States."
Destro armed the militias, and Cobra did the psyops to set the militias up under false flags. This was so Cobra would profit from public-private partnership contractor status with the Federal Government. This wasn't overnight. Let's assume that Cobra Commander has had some of this psyop running in the background prior to Destro being brainwashed back with Cobra.
Mainframe has had time to get a job working on microwave radio towers in the civilian world. Stalker is doing sniper work in Hindu Kush although I'm not sure if he is ever identified as being a civilian mercenary, special ops, Army Ranger, or what. Regardless, some time has passed for these guys to not only get over the disbanding of the Joe team. They have also moved on in their lives and are well into their new career fields.
Guess the time needed for this massively complicated public deception campaign by Cobra to foment, and for the Joes to move on and be established in something else. My guess is 12 to 18 months. I think 6 months is too soon. 12 would be Cobra really pushing all the buttons. But if the structure of the psyop / false flag is already set up prior to 155 through Crimson Guards, then really it just comes down to how long it takes for Destro to upgrade their arms. As we've seen in recent history, this kind of thing can actually happen in a matter of months. So, maybe on the low end of the timeline is at least plausible.
How long do you personally think it was?
