Hi, I'm Robert Siegel in conversation about politics with, as always, E.J.
Dionne.
Great to be with you always, Robert.
And we're happy to welcome for the first time Times Opinion columnist Carlos Lozada.
Long-time listener, first-time caller.
We have lots to talk about today, but I want to start on the war in Iran, which is said to be in a state of ceasefire at the time of this recording.
So a quick question for both of you.
First, E.J., did the U.S.
just win a war, lose a war, or is it too soon to tell?
Let's move to a question that you, Carlos, wrote about in a very interesting essay recently.
You wrote that the U.S.
has, and I quote, ceased to be the leader of the free world.
You later wrote, in place of the Pax Americana, we are seeing a sort of Lax Americana, a world in which a careless and uninhibited and incurious U.S.
superpower struts across the chessboard heedless of the dangers it's creating for itself and for the world.
So the sun has set on us, eh?
Carlos, how, I mean, it's something like the demand for Greenland.
Is that a bell that cannot be unrung?
Is its damage permanent?
Or can a new administration that reasserts commitments to a broader notion of leadership can get past all this?
