If you are referring to Saudi Arabia's inability to destroy Houthi movement, you may forget that Israel cannot destroy Hezbollah either. The war between Israel and Hezbollah has lasted for 40 years.
Saudi Arabia does not need the USA, and the USA needs Saudi Arabia.
KSA is 1.5 times the size of Iran with half of the country being mountainous and the other half dominated by desert, steppe and difficult terrain with huge geographical distances to trespass for any invading force. No regional country is capable of invading Saudi Arabia. To think otherwise, just demonstrates how clueless one is. I am not even going to mention the Saudi Arabian military firepower let alone that of the GCC, the Arab League and other regional allies + world powers. Or the religious impact of any invasion of KSA, with KSA being being the qibla of almost 2 billion Muslims. KSA is literally one of the last countries on earth that should fear a military invasion. Historically that has also been the case with every power that have attempted an invasion of Arabia, failing or abandoning their quest due to difficulties.
With an estimated value of US$31.00 trillion, Saudi Arabia has the second most valuable natural resource reserves in the world.[15]

The Qibla for almost 2 billion Muslims.
Trillions in mineral wealth.
Enormous political and economic clout in the Muslim world.
Helping keep the petrodollar system alive.
Strategic location in terms of world trade, bordering 3 of the 5 most strategic water ways.
This video below is hilarious.
Whatever way you look at it, KSA won that post-Khashoggi media/propaganda campaign.
Biden needs oil for lower price in winter and upcoming election while MBS needs Biden to guarantee his throne as the next king ... first step to remove the crown prince "Nayef" was done under Trump administration now he wanna take next step ... There was no need for such a visit If it wasn't for Russia Ukraine war.
And there is no apologize in politic but countries' interests that make them move towards each other especially a country like Saudi Arabia that its entire political system and military is depended on England and the USA that usually prefer to work with dictators rather than people ...
Is this some kind of joke?
The US has no influence on who rules KSA. They never had. To use the Iranian experience (Shah) and apply it to KSA makes no sense. If what you say was correct, Nayef would be the crown prince today and not sitting in house arrest or whatever is the status with him currently. MBS would long ago have been removed after the Khashoggi incident. The House of Saud have been around before the US even existed as a country. This is the post of someone who has no idea about the inner dynamics of KSA.
They literally have UAE , Jordon, Egypt to protect thier intrests, pakistan can help out too
Thier security needs are exaddurated
Actually it is the KSA that is protecting/helping protect small UAE and Jordan (in comparison to KSA) and not the other way around. As I wrote, KSA is one of the last countries on earth that should fear a foreign invasion. It makes absolutely no sense. Iran is incapable of invading KSA (lol) and similarly the other way around.
It is funny to see the zeal in which key Israeli officials swarm over anything KSA-related.
Just confirms what a huge price it would be for Israel if KSA recognized them. Such a thing should be used to the fullest by KSA if ever relevant in the nearby future.
Watch this telling video below.
Do yourself the home work. Iran and Saudi Arabia would go to war tomorrow if there is no US. Russia would attack Europe if no Nato. Chinese would attack Far East if no US. North Korea would invade South Korea if no US.
One thing is worthless propaganda the other thing is harsh reality.
Nonsense.
Russia would not attack Europe as Russia is not strong enough to attack/conquer/engage in a all-out war with all of Europe. This is Western/US propaganda that is used in order to sell expensive US weapons to NATO member states in Europe.
Similarly KSA and Iran will never go to war against each other (all-out war) because neither side would win such a war. For a state to start a war with another state, it usually entails that such state (the aggressor) has the upper hand militarily, economically, politically and in terms of resources.
Very rarely do you see conflicts between states that have an equal strength.
China have no reason to attack any sovereign nations in East Asia aside from rightly regaining Taiwan which is Chinese territory.
As for South and North Korea, this is actually one of the best examples of an outside manufactured conflict between two identical peoples. It is actually quite sad and pathetic to think about, I imagine that Korean nationalists absolutely despise the status quo.
