(TR) Who can still doubt that Trump lost the war against Iran? And, moreover, it's bad news for the rest of the world and we will pay dearly for it.

(TR) We are in a time when we do not hesitate to majorly infringe on religious freedom for a hypothesis that has an almost zero probability.

(TR) It is not the annual parade of the Jewish community but the one for Israel in which far-right Israeli ministers, including Smotrich, participate.

(TR) Talking about demographics exposes you to the inevitable "common sense" explanations that all refuse to see that they do not explain a phenomenon that affects societies worldwide.

(TR) Repeatedly, the use of force has shown its limits. Why not prefer diplomacy instead?

(TR) Honestly, for a phenomenon of this magnitude, unprecedented in history, to occur everywhere at the same time, there is reason to question. Do you know that a Harvard study established a correlation with the spread of smartphones... but correlation is not causation...

La France est toujours dans le peloton de tête des naissances en Europe. Juste derrière l’Irlande. #France #naissances #Europe

(TR) It is easy to understand that a global phenomenon of this magnitude, unprecedented in history, does not respond to usual makeshift solutions. Believe me: what is happening everywhere at the same time is simply astonishing.

(TR) Strangely, in statistical terms, birth rates do not stem from the aggregation of individual decisions but from a societal choice. In 1943, why did the French decide they wanted to have children? Even in 1944, in a country destroyed, hungry, ruined?

(TR) When the whole world, I say the whole world, knows the same evolution, it is ontological.

(TR) Family policies have never proven their effectiveness. Hungary has made the costly experience. Birthrates are declining everywhere, whether there are family policies or not.

(TR) It's not about allowances or housing but about an ontological crisis of the human species. Money won't do anything about it.

Because healthcare doesn’t follow a market logic. Supply creates demand. Prices matters less than other considerations ( urgency, reliability, access). #Healthcare #SupplyAndDemand #AccessToCare #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromtheprovidedtweet.

(TR) I don't think Israel will officially annex the West Bank, which would raise the question of the status of the Palestinians. A de facto annexation would be much more in its interest.

If the US is satisfied by a Iranian declaration on this topic, Iran being signatory of the NPT will easily deliver it. #Iran #NPT #USforeignpolicy #US #IR

(TR) It's the future of Europe in the coming world: to go towards all the countries that, like us, do not want to be trapped between the Chinese anvil and the American hammer.

(TR) The daily violence of the settlers in the West Bank is perfectly filmed and documented, just as is the protection provided to them by the army. Palestinians of all ages are brutalized and dispossessed. Hundreds have been killed. No one has ever been convicted.
