I don’t think ‘stable’ has the same meaning for me as it does for you.

Maybe you aren't using the accepted definition of stable? What fills the void when nations in the Middle East fall is chaos.
Below is the first google hit I get for “Saudi Arabia Politics”. They fund terrorism, attack allies, export Wahhabism, oppress, torture and kill political dissent, exclude women from everything and that’s just just scratching the surface. Why do you think Saudi Arabia is stable? Condemning them and pulling them into line doesn’t mean they become a failed state. Even just stopping exporting billions of dollars of arms to them would be a start.
