🚨 Red Lines — Tripwires That Would Change the Picture
- PM formally invokes "potentially critical situation" for Taiwan — auto-escalates outbound to L4.
- Diet votes on Article 9 reinterpretation — historic constitutional escalation.
- PLA fires across median line into JADIZ — auto-escalates inbound to L4+.
- DPRK missile lands in Japan EEZ or territorial waters — auto-escalates DPRK threat to L4-L5.
- China Coast Guard fires at JCG vessels at Senkaku — kinetic threshold breach.
- First Tomahawk delivery operational — strike capability milestone.
- Article 9 amendment ratified — historic post-WWII constitutional rupture.
