It might lead to a US-brokered Ethiopian-Eritrean peace deal that includes security guarantees, a US-controlled corridor from the Red Sea to Ethiopia via Eritrea modeled off of the one that was announced last August across southern Armenia, and maybe even a joint Ethiopian-US port in Assab.
Ethiopia's pathetic failure to reabsorb Eritrea and its seaboard will be its doom. There were years of opportunity to decisively accomplish that reunification, and they were lazily squandered---now the window is closing, and all its neighbors are seeing Ethiopia as what it is, an ineffectual pushover.
And now the US shark has scented blood.
It is unfortunately hard not to draw parallels with Russia's leisurely Ukraine campaign, fought with one hand tied behind the back.
The USA is meddling in this region to get a sea port it would like.
this is far away from the USA but America,s interest is to control the world, especially near to its friend Israel.

It's not the whole Erithrea that would be of interest - just the Southern seaboard part, next to Djibouti.
You mean like, just a special military operation, not an outright war? Yeah, that works.
