Such incidents are typically symptomatic of deeper, systemic problems.
Deep, systemic problems undermine the stability of a polity.
Unstable polities are more likely to make irrational choices in an attempt to stabilize themselves.
Such irrational choices often lead to some high-quality international level game-theory style consequences.
When the systemic problems are rooted in a system that is widely used across a swathe of countries, and is systemically failing in much the same way... well... that's a recipe for some 'interesting times'.
