Dukat's Plan After Their Victory

It was no small secret that Dukat and Damar didn't trust the Dominion, if the Dominion and Cardassians would have won the war-what would have Dukat done? I think he was so deluded and self-absorbed, that he would have turned on the Dominion. Thoughts?
 
I agree with you. Dukat was in way over his head, but too egotistical to notice that. I don't think he bothered to think through joining the Dominion and what it would mean in the future. He probably just thought he'd magically solve that problem in 5 minutes when the time came using his brilliant omnipotent brain. :D
 
I think Dukat viewed the Dominion as a way to eliminate the Federation, Klingons etc.. When they were gone he would turn on his former allies.

Clearly, but the question is how he was planning on doing that.
I suppose he could have held the Founder captive and used that to force the Dominion to abandon the Alpha Quadrant. Or maybe he would have been more daring and just launched surprise attacks on Dominion shipyards, cloning and ketracel white facilities. Before the Dominion realised what had happened their forces in the AQ would have been completely crippled.
I doubt he could have pulled it off, but it might be what he had in mind.
 
Didn't Dukat (or Damar) once circulate a plan among themselves to poison the Ketracel White that Kira et. al discovered and made public in order to drive a wedge between them and the Dominion during their occupation of DS9? Although it was disavowed (of course), there is little doubt that the Cardassians and Dukat, in particular, had little regard for the Dominion and would've discarded them once the Federation alliance was defeated. There were already signs as far back as "Call to Arms" that they didn't all share the same goals.

That wasn't disavowed. Weyoun couldn't care less that they were planning to kill some Jem'Hadar, and did not raise any objection about that whatsoever. :D The only part about that that Weyoun cared about, was that it was left around to be found by the Jem'Hadar.

I was looking through the scripts for the Dominion Occupation Arc and I didn't find any reference to poisoning the Ketracel White.
