    That‘s just normal behavior for people of split countries. It‘s not so normal when a foreigner doesn‘t specify clearly which of the two they’re referring to when speaking to a global audience.

    And the part about it not even being considered a different country is of course nonsense. Some folks may be wishful thinking out loud, but the general public does not believe they are currently the same country. Some may think of them as the same people, but the countries couldn‘t be more different and divided.
