Are you looking at possible involvement by the Solomon Islands in what is goin on in the PNG during the war or possibly having parts of it try to break off - for instance there was an uprising on Bougainville that started in 1988 and claimed 20,000 lives until it was resolved in 1997.
They are a major part of the mining economy for Papua - you could see that revolt getting out of hand if the Soviets assisted them.
And you have what Indonesia is doing in West Papua as well - possibly a major uprising there is what screws over their logistics
