What is there to explain?  Every country has its own governance and policies.  The US has reasons not to ratify UNCLOS.  How can we blame the US for not ratifying UNCLOS when there is a dispute among UNCLOS members?

Sure - US is free to  excuse itself from the UN law...

This also menas the Americans is in no legal nor moral position to lecture other nations to a bid by the UN law.

Trouble is it is hard for a psychotic Hypocrite not to tell others to do as it say not as it does....
