This is a frank conversation about life during a time of war, not
a geopolitical debate. We focus on the different ways in which
the Swiss and the American publics react to what’s happening in
Ukraine. Does geographic proximity make a difference in
perception? And does it affect our ability and willingness to
empathise? We're also delving into some philosophical questions:
Is this the return of history with a vengeance and, if so, why
did it disappear in the first place? What about our general
(in)ability to relate culturally and historically to certain
conflicts but not to others? And how about that off-ramp for
Putin? We don't have all the answers. What's clear to us is that
this war raises deep moral questions on every level - for the
conflicting parties as well as the world at large.
