Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov(@vseviov):For others to value a small nation’s freedom, that freedom must be of value to them. What makes a small nation valuable? Being the canary in the coal mine, sounding the alarm before others sense the danger. Being the child who declares the emperor has no clothes. Not because others cannot see the truth, but because small nations are often the freest to speak it. Yet freedom to speak is nothing without the courage to do so. Estonia must have that courage. To champion a free Europe. To defend a world governed by right, not might.
