Good luck buying from Russia and facing US sanctions. GCC wont dare it.
I am not too familiar with other GCC states, mostly Saudi Arabia, but last time I checked China is the largest trade partner of Saudi Arabia, it is China (along with Pakistan) that is helping establish a domestic Saudi Arabian ballistic missile program, it is China that is helping mine uranium in Saudi Arabia, it is Saudi Arabia that is importing Chinese drones and other strategic weapons (with local production and help with local drones derived from Chinese ones), including setting up entire factories, China is crucial for Saudi Vision 2030, Huawei 5G net is already working in Saudi Arabia (as one of the few non-Western countries), fully backed by China despite US threats (those threats worked in Europe), a few days ago (a brother made a thread about it here on PDF) Chinese AliBaba and local Saudi Arabian firms were building an entire computer cloud network with 16 data centers etc.
Biden is the one begging Saudi Arabia to increase oil production for 4 months now (!), yet they still adhere to the OPEC deal with Russia. No GCC condemnation of Russia either. MbS publicly saying that he does not care about Bidens opinion about him or Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabian sketches making fun of Biden have been shared 10's of millions of times online on every platform as well.
Saudi Arabia (I am sure also other GCC states) are already importing Russian wheat, at least they have done so in the past. You think that they are afraid of importing wheat from Russia when they are importing Russian weapons and other imports, lol?
I had to google to see if they imported wheat from Russia and indeed they did and do.
According to Customs Service, in July-November of 2021/22 MY Russia exported 18.2 mln tonnes of wheat (including deliveries to the Customs Union countries), down 13% y/y. Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria and Azerbaijan remained the key importers of Russian wheat with the common share of the overall...

Sevenfold increase.
But sure SUPERPAWA Gangus is keeping the Middle East alive with its wheat exports, keep believing that.
BTW this is the Bangladeshi forum, I thought that this was the Pakistani section.
