Their entire economy is supported by Western technicians. If we pulled out, it would collapse in months. And their armed forces have no training or temperament to fight a serious war, much less a high-tech one.

Saudi is a rich welfare state. Their men will not fight. I used to work at a defense contractor that got a huge contract with Saudi, and I got to interact with Saudi officers. I was not impressed
