Is It Time to Negotiate With Putin?
It’s been 18 months since Russia invaded Ukraine. No true negotiations have happened. As the stalemate continues, what role should the United States play in the fight?
This week on “Matter of Opinion,” the hosts discuss how the war is playing out at home and whether there’s actually more American enthusiasm for invading Mexico.
Plus, a trip back in time to a magical land of sorcerers and “Yo! MTV Raps.”
