Hello friends and neighbors tis I

Andrew Heaton host of the political orphanage

this week I am joining my friend and podcasting ally Justin Robert Young

in taking bonus episodes past the paywall and putting them here on the main

feed so that you can get a taste of what you're missing out on each and every week for political

orphans who support the show on Patreon. They get the normal episode like you, but they also get a bonus episode.

Sometimes it's an additional interview, often it's a monologue, occasionally an extended cut with guests where I get into personal stuff I probably shouldn't put on the internet, but I put

it behind the paywall because I trust those listeners a little bit more.

But my favorites are when I drop in some history, which is what I'm going to give you today, what Napoleon teaches us about foreign policy.

For people who are already supporting the show on Patreon, thank you.

What you're about to hear is from very early last year, I think maybe in January, before the pandemic.

So if you started supporting the program more recently, you may not have heard it,

but it's been there waiting for you're

on your Patreon feed along with two years of bonus episodes. For everyone else to contextualize what you're about to hear,

I made this just after President Trump killed Iranian general Solomani. And while we didn't wind up going to war with Iran,

I sort of thought we might.

So it's an episode about what happens,

pretty much every time a foreign army tries to liberate a country.

Might be worth recalling next time we decide to go adventuring in the Middle East,

presumably next Tuesday.

Enjoy, and if you want to get more episodes and support the show
