It is important to keep Italy out of the war as long as possible so the German army can concentrate on Russia or France. And its important to get Bulgaria in the war as soon as possible in order to transfer food and raw materials from Turkey. The US is mainly an issue in a long war where neither France or Russia has been knocked out, in which case the CP are in deep trouble anyway.

Is the Entente declaring war on Belgium/Netherlands considered an incident?

That would count as two possible incidents and then a random check would be made to see if that moves the political stance 0, 1 or 2 steps.
