Uh-Oh..

File Under: Potentially Serious Doom. See Also: Global Implications.

Technically, this war never ended, so an incident like this could restart a really ugly war-by-proxy between China and the United States. Three potential narratives play out:

1. Escalation. Not outright war, but strained-to-failing diplomatic relations
could lead there soon.
2. Pop! We wake up tomorrow or Wednesday or any day real soon and we are at war.
3. Dissipation. Effective Diplomatic overtime keeps this in the "Near Miss" category.

Pay attention. This might be important.
