I imagine Isaac Asimov would have been shocked by the twist in this episode if he'd seen it. In the 1970s Asimov once said that if intelligent extraterrestrial life exists and has advanced enough to make contact with other intelligent life, then logically they would have grown up significantly and overcome their barbaric, warlike instincts. For that reason, Asimov found the idea of aliens wanting to invade Earth a bit far-fetched. But in this case it's different. Humanity is looked on as a failed experiment because the aliens that created us felt our appetite for war and conquest was not strong ENOUGH. A disappointed parent deciding to wipe out their offspring for not living up to expectations is a bit harsh, but that's the way it goes...

He did the right thing after all we were ripe for harvesting the Pentagon or the military they were not interested in curing for cancer and all that shit they weren't interested in weapons typical about over bloated military Pentagon Department that I want to see shutdown ASAP all they do is make profit for the war manufacturers but in this episode that's all the Pentagon was interested in no cure for AIDS just weapons technology

He gives one small clue as to his real intentions at 1:30. Careful listeners will note the way he phrases this: "... and the nuclear balance of terror which precludes any real victory..." He doesn't say peace, he says victory. A clue to his ultimate intentions.

Indeed. People hear what they expect to hear, especially from network TV. We've all heard how a species or race capable of interstellar travel will be "enlightened" and "advanced," and that that means bleeding-heart peaceful. So most viewers were like the characters in the show--that is, hearing a lament for peace.

This mini episode showcases the fatal fallacy of making assumptions, based on a few words taken out of context, to dictate our course of actions. But even if it had not been the case, this alternate reality Earth was already royally screwed.

I remember watching this a long time ago. I was very impressed with the irony! One of my favorite re-boot episodes.
