Asking as a Brit, is this our fault too? I don't want to be "it's all about me" but have a hunch it is!

Your ancestors amputated your largest colony with a fake partition which has been dissolving bit by bit through the decades, and painfully.

No. Not your fault. Go enjoy your cake.

My guess is we've drawn an arbitrary straight line while occupying a foreign country and it's not sustainable as a land border
