    That seems an accurate assessment.

    I admit my study of it is not thorough; outside of Thucydides book I know very little; but the Sicilian expedition marks a turning point.
    My proposition is that Trump also marks a turning point.

    I would go so far as to call Trump "Americas' Pivot Man"

    I've thought of it as Athens' Barbarossa: needlessly restarting and expanding the war when they had achieved an advantageous peace from the previous bout of campaigning.
