One of the most heavily armed countries btw.
At least we haven't sold them nukes, at least not the public knows about.

Furthermore, Saudi Arabia has intermediate range nuclear-capable ballistic missiles that were purchased from China.
It's dangerous, sure, but I would not bet on it being effective in defending their interests
The insanity is those jet fighter pilots are NOT ALLOW TO DRIVE.
The whole country is a nightmare waiting to happen once there is an economic crunch. The elite will be fine but their equivalent of the "middle-class" is completely screwed. They already have baked-in religious fundamentalism and they will most certainly turn to that in numbers.
We don't think of "poor people" in Saudi Arabia but there are plenty of people who have to work hard for a living there every day, I saw TV segment on taxi drivers who could have been just like any taxi driver in NYC.
I think you may be getting confused with the UAE, which did a good PR job on its first female fighter pilot a couple of years ago.
