Like I said before, they are the third largest military spender in the world. Abandoning the Saudis would give their 60+ million dollar spending budget to the Chinese or Russians which would draw them under their influence.

The Chinese and Russians are known for murdering millions of their own people. Leaving the Saudis under their influence will not decrease their humanitarian record, rather they would be supported by countries that proactively support repression on an industrial scale.

Leaving the Saudis won't help their humanitarian record, they would actually find support and influence from the two countries who are masters of murder and repression of their people.

Instead of hurting the Saudis, they would just still get their military supplies and also learn the art of repression from the two countries who have mastered it.

I just don't see it that way.
I think if we stop propping up that regime, Iran will conquer some of their territory, and then some clan or group of clans will remove the house of Saud from power within a few years.
