Both Allison's conception of Thucydides's Trap and its applicability to U.S.-Chinese relations have encountered heavy scholarly criticism. In March 2019, the Journal of Chinese Political Science dedicated a special issue to the topic, suggesting power transition narratives do appear to matter with regard to domestic perception
Terrorism and experts in it. This is relevant to today, all sides given.
As Thucydides' referral was to Spartan-Greek-Persian alliances - to use that example:

A connected historian said to me once, "They used to settle their differences with war - until they learned to intermarry."
Mitch Mitchell and Diane Feinstein did not approve this message.
The decadence of Rome is often reflected by when the emperor would blur the lines between entertainment and politics, sometimes joining in public plays.
Today it's infotainment news with Barack Obama as guest, joking on the couch.
His brother was in China for the longest time. Strange
The game Assassin's Creed Odyssey (About Spartan-Greek alliances) makes reference to Trump as Kleon as the Orange Ape....the populist militant.
