Earth groans under the pressures of murder, aggression and falsehood

88.  There is a difference between the karma of aggression and that of defense.  It can be shown how aggressors suffer the most grievous consequences and how terrible their condition is in the subtle realm.  People delude themselves by thinking that great conquerors do not reap bad karma during their earthly lives. But karma has its own timely approach and does not show itself immediately.  Life is continuous, and the wise ones understand their lives as a single necklace.          -M:  Supermundane 1, 1938

330.  Earth groans under the pressures of murder, aggression and falsehood, and the consequences of earthly delusion fill the subtle realm too.  
367.  It is hard to express certain ideas in words.  It is hard to explain the difference between the power of calmness and the oppressive force of aggression.  Only those who have trod many earthly paths will understand the value of calmness, particularly during the days of Armageddon.  Calm reigns in our abode, where even the slightest imbalance can cause a great calamity.  Calmness should be cultivated everywhere in the world.

All of which makes the U.S. and European response to the current crisis a crucial test of collective credibility.  Should Washington and its European partners fail, it will virtually guarantee more of the same from Moscow in the future.  https://www.yahoo.com/news/sea-azov-showdown-reasons-behind-155600326.html
