I agree with your first sentence. It is not clear to me if you meant, that Snowden was such a ("Doomed") spy.
My reading of Q's relevant crumbs (the ones directed, apparently, at Snowden, – but what do we Anons really know, about the way this Board is used as a "number station" for whoever), is that he was C_A, infiltrated NSA to pose as an NSA leaker for the purpose of damaging the NSA in the minds of the public and the legislators, so no one would see the extent to which the C_A had usurped the NSA's mandate, and how far they (C_A) had gone beyond it, into massive illegal surveillance of the whole population (LifeLog under the name FB, all the stuff in Vault 7, crap like that). So, IMHO, Snowden was not intednded by his (C_A) masters to be a Doomed Spy in the Sun Tzu sense – the C_A didn't, so far as it looks to us, anyway, set him up as their goal to fail. But their plan hasn't worked out as they intended, and so Snowden is out there, somewhere, hanging, and Q is (apparently) offering him [true] asylum in exchange for joining the winning team (team POTUS), and apparently reminding him that from the C_A's point of view, he's a spent asset, a liability, and likely on their kill list. Also, it would be a time-limited offer, even if the C_A didn't [Snowden], because all assets have a best-before date, and The Plan undoubtedly is at least semi-timetabled (think GANTT).
However, it's all just one set of moves and countermoves b/w Q+ & DS. For example, IIUC, the Reality is China-China-China (HuaWei, Fat Leonard, a dozen other ploys), but Snowden stopped of in HK "on the way to Russia", b/c China was the actual final destination of the leaking mission, but whoever was running Snowden at the time was also using him as a pawn in the Russia-Russia-Russia illusion psyop (whether Snowden knew this or not at the time).
Games within games, wheels within wheels – at the end of the day, it's Cabal vs. Human Species. Q seems to have hinted that there is something non-human behind the Cabal (an AI? Something biblically demonic? Space Aliens? Transdimensional Aliens? Or is "it would end 90% of the population to the hospital" more a metaphorical allusion? I have no idea.)
My opinion is certainly no better than (and probably worse informed than) any other Anon's, here.
