   Let's face it. Asteroid redirection capiblities may be in the hands of global   
   superpowers in the next couple decades, even withen a couple of years given   
   plenty of funding. And with enough Delta-V, we could direct a large-enough   
   asteroid into say...    
   Eastern US, Far East, Western Russia, or Western Europe. While kill-sat   
   weapons may do the job for satalites, asteroids arn't as small or fragile as   
   satalites.    
      
   Someone also may sneak a Orion drive or something into space. Everyone will   
   notice when they turn it on, but before than... and who will enforce it?   
      
   You know what happens next...
