The idea of fence-sitters, especially in a developing world—in Africa, in Asia and in Latin America—is not a new one. Remember, going back to the years of the Cold War, we referred to these countries as third world countries, meaning “third world”, as opposed to being clearly in the Soviet camp or in the western camp. Those attitudes have not always fundamentally changed.
I think there has been an erosion of diplomatic efforts in many of these countries, that is, efforts by the United States and by the European countries. I don't want to include Canada, because I don't comment on Canada. There has been a neglect of diplomacy in these areas that both China and Russia have, in some circumstances, taken advantage of.
There still is a long hangover from the colonial era from the behaviour of some of the European countries, and especially from the behaviour of my own country, that is off-putting, if I can use that mild term, to many of the countries in these continents that you have identified. There, it is really about more serious diplomacy, and we're going to have to battle diplomatically, as well as support military efforts, to deter Russia from further aggression.
