Saudi King Salman’s golden escalator breaks down at Russian airport

I’m all for castigating the unjustness/decadence/corruption/putrefaction that is the Saudi regime, but:

  • the “golden” escalator was supplied by the Russians

  • Salman is 81

This video is just an elderly man with mobility issues on a broken piece of machinery.

Look, I would have been as happy as anyone else if they’d shown the rest of the video: where a retinue of 20 barefooted, shirtless Immortals create a human pyramid to lift him down, and then carry him off in a shrouded palanquin.

Actually, a broke escalator can become a slide.
