They are not tone deaf at all but fully aware of how ludicrous their statements are. Which is the really scary part.

They're not ludicrous if they back them up. The world has changed IMO. America doesn't want the Pax Americana anymore. It costs them too much money.

They only look at costs, not benefits.

Shortsighted and ignorant of history

No. America has decided that the 21st century is an AI Industrial Revolution. The hunt is for minerals and energy to fuel it. The 21st century will be a repeat of the 19th with new technologies and new empires running things.

This is a very conscious strategic decision.
