I just heard the news that the congress has approved a conspicuous sum to aid Ukraine, well done, the Russian superpower is not exhibiting great military prowess now and some help may leverage the stand in favour of Ukraine.
Just gobbling up a little land is never enough for a Napoleon, a Hitler, a Putin. The taste of conquer and the submission; power over others becomes insatiable. It becomes an addiction. When someone has no real spiritual aspiration, no true and visible purpose to express in humble submission to the divine; their souls desire for omnipotence becomes directed instead at materialism and world domination; dominion and supremacy over others, with brutality rearing its ugly head. Instead of conquering the ego, the life desire becomes absorbed in conquest and making God out of one self, and the loss of channeling divine forces that include the expansion and happiness of others as well.
