I have concluded after many years of being "awake", much time watching global events, and many many many hours on this board, that having a "PLAN" is impossible. The complexity of our world, the many variables, and predicting outcomes for each scenario can not be done. The "moves and counter moves" concept is the closest thing to reality, but even that requires more planning than would be humanly possible to predict.
So, we have two possibilities left:
-
I am vastly underestimating the capabilities of Q team and the military and intelligence powers behind it.
-
Q has been projecting more power than they actually hold, in a hail mary style operation with the hopes of achieving what might ultimately be impossible.
The good thing is, we will actually find out at some point.
