It's hard to imagine many countries with a greater need for a strong defence than Saudi Arabia. Maybe Iran.

Maybe they could enter into a mutual defence agreement. That would solve a lot of problems.

But as long as it's the Wahhabis against the Ayatollahs, it doesn't sound likely.

Saudi Arabia has the little problem that the oil-rich region has a (repressed) Shiite majority, as well.
