David McGlinchey @davemcg.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Why write today that Trump listed “other conflicts — India vs. Pakistan, Thailand vs. Cambodia, Israel vs. Hamas and Egypt vs. Ethiopia, among others — that he claims credit for ending” without noting that Egypt & Ethiopia were not involved in an armed conflict. Seems like important context 000
