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'.
