Global order on the brink
The program opens by questioning how the world should understand the growing chaos and uncertainty driven by Donald Trump’s second administration.
As 2026 unfolds, signs of global despair are becoming increasingly visible, raising a fundamental question: where does hope stand in such times?
Drawing on the ideas of philosopher Byung-Chul Han, the show argues that true hope does not emerge from comfort, but from despair, and that hope must be active, not passive.
Against this backdrop, the episode examines Trump’s increasingly aggressive and imperial behavior on the global stage, from threats of territorial expansion to sanctions and misinformation.
One year into his second term, Trump is portrayed as a destabilizing force, signaling the beginning of a dangerous new era marked by the erosion of law, rights, and global order, all for the benefit of a powerful few.
