The tone is urgent and emotional, particularly when addressing the language question.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The style is highly combative, emotional, and provocative, employing heavily loaded and condemnatory language ("woo-woo science," "are being brainwashed," "mutilation of children"). The speaker utilizes sarcasm (e.g., concerning the minister's title and gender) and leans heavily on historical fears and Soviet-era falsehoods to underscore the gravity of the situation. The rhetoric appeals to moral panic and demands immediate action.

The speaker uses comparisons (USA, Trump, Black Lives Matter) to test the consistency of opponents and demands internationally recognized consensus sources (OSCE) as the factual basis. The tone is more polemical than conciliatory.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
The style is urgent and combative, emphasizing the necessity of speed and referencing historical failures ("delays, letting things slide"). Both logical arguments are employed (e.g., procurements are delayed) and emotional appeals (Eldorado, throwing money into the sea). The speaker utilizes historical examples (Kiek in de Kök, the cancellation of the 1939 treaties) and quotes experts (General Sõrskõi, James Acuna) to bolster their position.
