Rearmament is the word of the hour. With Putin's invasion of Ukraine, pacifism seems to be a thing of the past: aggressors can only be defeated or deterred militarily, violence can only be ended with counter-violence. Necessary insight or fatal fallacy? ???? Subscribe now to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube ???? https://www.youtube.com/srfkulturster... Russia's invasion of Ukraine is described as a turning point. Gone is the belief in a continent of peace through international law and trade. The need for rearmament and tough economic sanctions is unanimously emphasized. Even Switzerland supports the EU sanctions; neutral Sweden decides to supply weapons. In the face of horror, it almost seems as if pacifism is finally a thing of the past, insistence on non-violent resistance is nothing but the naive dream of soft-hearted minds, the peace movement a relic of days gone by. But can violence only be effectively countered with counter-violence? Can one's own country and its values ultimately only be protected through war? Or doesn't the war in Ukraine show that military force, even in a defense situation, is the worst solution of all, because it prolongs and intensifies the suffering of the population? Give peace a chance - but how? Barbara Bleisch and Wolfram Eilenberger discuss at the Philosophical Stammtisch with the philosopher Wilfried Hinsch and the publicist Elke Schmitter.
