  1. Yeah sure it would be fun. Ethiopia is biting more than it can chew. Ethiopia will lose more than it's worth just for an unlikely possibility of expanding to the Red Sea. (What Ethiopia needs is less military action and more diplomacy, not an annexed sea port.) But then again, wars are incited by existing tensions exceeding an allowable threshold of bargaining frictions.

It would be much harder to spend on the military while still keeping up with social spending demands. So I'm guessing production would be cut by 25-50%, ideally.
