This has been the status quo since the end of WWI. It's nothing new. What do you think the Gulf War was about? Wake up, The USA, Russia, and Saudi Arabia are the largest oil suppliers in the world. It makes sense for the USA to stay aligned with Saudi Arabia as the Oil era comes to an end over the next 20 years. China is buddying up to Saudi Arabia, and that would not be good for the USA. So it makes a lot of sense to align with the Saudis for many reasons.
