Trump says Russia should return to the G-7, making it the G-8 the way it was before Crimea. He says that Obama let Crimea get taken by Russia instead of blaming Putin for invading, and it isnât his problem. OTOH, the G-7 seem like it would prefer to be the G-6.
But we start this week with RFK:
Fifty years ago, RFK was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, his coffin carried by his sons and only surviving brother. He was a man of promise, of purpose. Someone who could have made a huge difference, but it was not to be. This puts Wrongo in mind of the last line of âThe Great Gatsbyâ by F. Scott Fitzgerald:
And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Wrongo didnât know what Fitzgerald meant when he first read this line in high school, more than 50 years ago. Now, he realizes that as we age, there is more of the past. It is a beacon, a lighthouse, both a warning and a welcome.
We canât know what RFKâs future would have been, or how it would have shaped the future of America. We can be fairly sure he would have beaten Richard Nixon in 1968, but even that isnât a certainty.
