See....it's events like this that begin to disturb me. Playing peek-a-boo with foreign submarines possibly prowling around near or in territorial waters is one thing....but firing warning shots? That definitely sounds a bit like escalation to me.

Still, no harm done apparently. But if, say, those "warning shots" were to come to close and actually strike a vessel or submarine, that's when things begin to really escalate.
