Gatavojot ārvalstniekiem kontekstuālu juridisku ieskatu pretvardarbības konvencijas denonsēšanas mēģinājumā, man no debatēm Saeimas sēdē acīs krīt divi citāti, kas liek domāt par tālejošiem mērķiem transformēt ne tikai Latviju, bet visu Eiropu. Abi no šķietami populārākā spēka Latvijā - LPV.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
