There are many things worth going to war over, like actual impedance of navigation, invading hordes, second amendment, private property, life, freedom, Israel, attacks against ourselves or allies, and etc. A sand castle that we're not even sure if it is lawful or unlawful under international law, and that is not actually impeding navigation, IMO, isn't an issue worth starting WWIII over.

If the UN can't play a role in making a determination and ruling on something as simple as this, and which has multinational interest, what the hell good is the UN?

My other point was: why is this administration so quick to take our country's internal matters before the world court, but not this? Seems counter intuitive to me. But that's just me FRiend.

Well you answered you own question the UN is worthless. Every other country in the world does not recognize communist china’s claim. We as the US have to insure FON not only for our military but for commerce that goes through that region. We have been in that regions for along time and are not going away not matter how much the china’s pout and scream. If they unfortunately shoot at us they will be looked at us as the aggressor then we go from there. I think they understand what that means, they arent stupid people.
