The [[Dominion]]'s view of the Federation was less than commendatory. Following the [[Battle of the Omarion Nebula]], which eliminated the threat of the [[Obsidian Order]] and [[Tal Shiar]], the [[Changeling]] posing as [[Colonel]] [[Lovok (Changeling)|Lovok]] stated that "''after today the only real threats to us from the Alpha Quadrant are the Klingons and the Federation. And I doubt either of them will be a threat for much longer.''" As the [[Federation-Dominion Cold War]] pressed on, [[Benjamin Sisko]] was told by [[Weyoun]] that "''the Dominion has endured for over 2000 years, and will continue to endure, until long after the Federation has crumbled into dust.''"
Following Cardassia's joining of the Dominion, [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Dukat Gul]] [[Dukat]] offered Benjamin Sisko an opportunity to "save [his] precious Federation,''" by convincing them to "''follow Cardassia's example''" and join the Dominion as well, adding, "''joining the Dominion will save billions of lives and keep the Federation from fading into the mists of history.''"
Later, during the Dominion War, it was Weyoun's belief that for the Dominion to absorb the Federation, following their theoretical defeat, that "''holding on to a prize as vast as the Federation isn't going to be easy. It's going to require an enormous number of ships, a massive occupation army and constant vigilance.''" Ultimately, Weyoun personally believed that "''the key to holding the Federation is Earth. If there's going to be an organized resistance against us, its birthplace will be there.''"
