Political Position
The speaker adopts a strongly results-oriented position, challenging the government's reporting on the execution of the country's long-term development strategy, "Eesti 2035," specifically within the remit of the Ministry of Defense. The critique centers on the fact that the submitted report fails to align with the strategy's objectives, suggesting that the strategy document itself holds little value. This stance is highly critical of both the government's operational performance and the quality of its strategic planning.

Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is direct, critical, and confrontational, employing pointed rhetorical questions to highlight the substantive failure of the reporting. The tone is formal and centers on logical inconsistency: the presentation addresses "completely different things" than the strategy itself. Logical argumentation, rather than emotional appeals, is utilized to call the value of the strategy into question.
