15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session.
The style is serious, analytical, and concerned, incorporating both personal feelings (related to the events of 2008) and geopolitical logic. Historical parallels and metaphors are used (such as the relationship between former political prisoners, and the story of furnishing an apartment) to explain the deterioration of relations between Georgia and the West. It is emphasized that diplomacy has failed and that counter-escalation is necessary, based on the principle that "the worse, the better."
