[QUOTE="jian, post: 9836017, member: 78087"] No, they’re not being stupid; they’re just being human, as were the CIA in the 20th century, who were generally clever people with as much information as they could obtain, which they knew was incomplete. MI5 and MI6 have displayed similar levels of poor outcome since their inception. This would be an unprecedented situation for them - and while they could (accidentally) respond with a sensible plan that results in positive outcomes, I don’t personally think that likely. As for my strategy, it’s as I’ve outlined - sigh, pray that God hasn’t given me more than I can deal with, plan to do as much good as possible, expect to get found out, prepare and protect my loved ones as well as possible, and expect to have to go public when things start going south. I would also be a human operating on incomplete information with none of the huge narrative protections that Kal-El enjoys, so I’d expect to end up doing stupid things too. I just hope they don’t involve hurting people directly. [/QUOTE]
