This week, two of Australia's biggest international partners increase their rhetoric against each other. Accusations of war mongering, arms races, and recognition of national sovereignty. Of course we speak of China and the US who will potentially decide the fate of the world over the course of this century.

What does a tiny island in the South China Sea have to do with it? Whats a belt and road? Why do I dislike newspaper opinion pieces so much? And just like funk rock legends WAR I ask “why can’t we be friends” and ultimately how did it come to this?
