At tension days, US are not permitting themselves the luxury of keeping at full pelt, a sort of technosphere which they have been maintaining since the beginning of the Space Age in the 60’s.
Actually, I believe it is more a matter of ‘at any price’ than anything else. Once they are passing through a troubled economic period, they are not able anymore to continue the old dream of total domination.
Being abroad, fluctuating through the vacuum (with high tech stuff, of course) means being powerful - politically, socially, economically… no matter where. However, nowadays, it is not the North-American reality indeed.
Lately, they have had in much more to invest here, in Earth. It's another moment! So, extraterrestrial beings from Mars or any other planets must wait - maybe for a agreement between US and Russia, or even China. Why not? While out of Cold War, everything is possible...
Ok, by the last 40 years, who could believe that one day it would be possible… Well, the old vain and puffed up lion became a little kit which walks by smaller steps… not as the leaps from the past. After all, the patterns and needs of mankind have changed a lot. Or rather, their priorities!
