== The United States of America is well and truly screwed. ==
Half of the country just got wiped out by a tidal wave from the impact. China and Russia, being left completely untouched, can invade and take over what's left of America any time they want.
* This very plan was attempted in Stephen Baxter's ''Titan'', but the Chinese messed up their calculations regarding the asteroid's size and impact and caused [[The End of the World
* On the other hand, the waters only reached as far as the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. Most places west of the Mississippi were probably OK, meaning the US still has its major food producers as well as the cities and military personnel stationed in the West.
