Sure, but it seems there are references to incompatible goals within the Project 2025 document, which is meant to be a unified goal document.

For instance, one goal was that "The United States must regain its role as the 'Arsenal of Democracy'... the United States built its reputation as a reliable partner with a strong defense industrial base that could supply military articles and goods in a timely manner."

But as explained in the video below, "The last three months have seen the worst damage to that reputation since the post-WWII order came into force."

The video is worth watching: it does bring out a lot of what you're talking about (different parts w/ different concerns), and does actually make sense of a lot of what Trump is saying and doing wrt Ukraine and NATO. I do find it preferable that the administration has rational goals which are simply not compatible with each other, than that they're behaving completely randomly.
