>You're here citing Kissinger as a venerable authority rather than an amoral war criminal, case in point.

Citing Kissinger does not mean endorsing him.

>KSA exports the same toxic religious fundamentalism...

Iranian-supported fundamentalism controls 4 ME captials, KSA controls only 1 capital. Iran is a explicitly anti-American revisionist power with a serious nuclear program while KSA isn't.

Unsurprisingly, I focus on the bigger more toxic power (that wasn't always the case - two decades ago KSA was the bigger issue). Isn't that more like realpolitiks rather than talking about what would some fictional KSA have done?

It sounds like you are biased, in favor of the U.S., and discounting Iranian interests.

You do realize KSA has is hands all over 9/11 right?

And KSA was indeed the bigger problem two decades ago. These days it's Iran that is sheltering Al-Qaeda people.
