Personally I think that, as a package, US weapons are best. Meaning that Russia might have a better x weapon but that's it. Now the Saudi (Gov) is as bad as they can be. But let's suppose that we trigger things that makes the Saudi Royal family to go back to their desert roots (US TREAS can make their life miserable if ordered, no matter how many assets they have overseas)....will we be better with the replacement? What will true democracy be like in Saudi Arabia when it comes to human rights? As bad as it sounds, punishing, but not overthrowing them might be the best option. Of course tighten this screw and loosen this one is a game, but if played correctly they'll tow the line. Maybe show them a video of Muammar Gaddafi's last minutes?
