J'ai demandé au Ministre d'étendre à Port-Boyer et à la Bottière l'expérimentation que nous menons au Breil pour identifier les jeunes susceptibles de basculer dans le narcotrafic. Je n'ai pas eu de réponse. C'est symptomatique d'un manque sur les questions de prévention.

The greatest lie Russia ever told was convincing people it is a superpower.

The only things Russia truly invests in and innovates are kinetic warfare and information warfare.
It has one of the worst demographic outlooks in the world.
Russia is a paper bear.
