Hello and welcome to, welcome back to Colonial Outcast, the anti-imperialist podcast that will piss your uncle off. It's a Sunday episode. We're going to get into some like social theory, some political thought. But first, but first, before we start talking about the Vietnam syndrome, the Gwatt syndrome or the global global war on terror syndrome, and Iran, we're

going to talk about news.

And you might be like, oh, what are you guys actually talking about?

Well, you stick around to find out.

So it's Sunday last night or early this morning, Haifa got hit, military target, at least what we're hearing is 30 casualties from a Hezboa rocket

shot at or around the port of Haifa. Here is the footage.

So we're seeing a lot of litter, a lot of stretchers. We're not currently seeing a lot of blood, so we could kind of, maybe it was like a lot of

TBI's, concussions, from the overpressure from the blast.

We don't see any battle damage, but it's definitely not a drill.

Line of about 15 ambulances looks pretty serious.

Haven't heard anything about military deaths. So that happened.

We can expect the situation to escalate from here.

Now, as we talk about escalation, we can talk about U.S. involvement.

And this is a recent development breaking about an hour and a half ago.

After, and this coincides with the missile attack.

The United States is about to send Israel an air defense battery, a thad, a battery, along with American troops to help bolster its defense against Iran.

Generally, each thad, that's terminal high altitude, crap, I don't have

the acronym up here. Let me, let me pull it up just so we can have it. Thad system. Terminal high

altitude area defense battery. And it consists of about six truck mounted launchers, 48 interceptors, radio and radar equipment,

and requires 95 soldiers to operate. The U.S. does not want the bloodshed to end. It wants to

secure its colony. A thad battery won't save Israel from amassed Iranian reprisal, but it's a nice symbolic

gesture.
