Note
A plural that counts what the singular often leaves uncounted. Every meaning of aggression works both ways: as a mass noun it names a practice, a habit or a general hostility; as a count noun it names single acts, and only that use takes this plural. So a state's aggressions are separate attacks or threats that could be listed one by one, while aggression alone can mean the whole pattern.
