If all countries start violating international law it would be chaos. It can't be just might is right. What about Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo. And what about the 43 millitary coups the CIA engineered in latin america over the last 70 or so years? These were outright wars. But Indonesia can't buy Russian oil because of secondary economic sanctions. Does the US have the right to bomb Nord Stream? This doesn't make what China is doing in the SC seas right. But are many of these conflicts manufactured in the US? Short of war the US has intervened in almost every country. The CIA supported Al Quida to fight the Assad regime in Syria. Most recently there is a civil war in Sudan, would that have happened if Sudan had not allowed Russia to set up a naval base much against the desires of the US? Who wins and who loses, when superpowers fight a proxy war over something? No one really wins, but there is a big loser. In the proxy war in Ukraine, Ukraine was the big loser. In the proxy war 50 years ago in Vietnam, Vietnam was the big loser. Can differences be settled through negotiations? Almost certainly. Even wars can end through negotiations. In Ukraine's case in april 2022 Ukraine and Russia was close to a deal but the US vetoed it. If the S.China sea is a power keg, it's because that what the US wants.
