Outside of a theological context, is Love (agape - ἀγάπη) Sovereign?

Hatred and Revenge seem far more human principles than ἀγάπη. It took the Red Army, an army as-or-more vicious than the Wehrmacht, to crush and stamp it to death on the Eastern Front. The conquest of the Americas and Manifest Destiny was utterly loveless and yet indisputably lead to the modern Sovereignty of the US. Burning hatred of injustice, imagined or otherwise, moved Lenin to kill all the Romanovs. The only thing that stops Kant's murderer at the door, is another killer on the other side of door. Only the Mongols, in infighting could stop the Mongols. So is Love Sovereignty or is the Sovereign Loving?
