The larger truth the whole episode reveals is a point made by Hannah Arendt in Origins of Totalitarianism - that for some people, the whole point of political power is to enact their fantasies, to live in the world of their dreams instead of the real world, to force the real world to conform to their psychological wishes, or more exactly to keep up the appearance that it does so. Not for any material advantage, but because the maintenance of their inner sense of righteousness and all-knowingness is vastly more important to them than any mere worldly interest - including millions of lives, other peoples or their own.
