If that's magnificent...

In my latest Rebel video I note that on Oct. 15, 1529, Suleiman “The Magnificent” began a retreat from Vienna which his armies had just failed to capture. But he and his successors didn’t give up attacking the West, by land and sea, to concentrate on respecting the rights of their citizens and leaving other people alone. Strange, and ultimately squalid, kind of magnificence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91MN2oR7xrs
