<If the Turks besieged Vienna again, I wonder which side you would root for?>

That should be obvious, given what I've always posted about letting every tribe alone in peace on their own turf.

The Turks should rule the Turkish homeland: Anatolia. The Germans should rule Vienna. Turks shouldn't go to Vienna to bully the Germans, and Germans shouldn't go to Anatolia to bully the Turks. And if the Turks and Germans do go far from home, with weapons of war, they will inevitably irritate the locals. And they deserve no sympathy, if the locals kill them in creative ways. Seems self-evident, to me.
