reminder that as bad as Sochi is, the Qatar world cup is going to be built by literal (indian) slaves

its cool because the arabian peninsula is basically absolute monarchy, absolute vassal monarchy, absolute monarchy with a cool tv channel, federation of absolute monarchies with compensation issues, sleepy absolute monarchy and the republic of thunderdome.
