True but I’ve heard they are in support of Iran getting decimated so they can fill the power vacuum.

So many Americans don't understand that these two "branches" of the Muslim world are at odds as much if not more than Israel and the Muslim world.

That whole region is a mess of deep long-standing divisions.

I'd still take UAE vs Saudi, over Iran destabilizing everything in the region (Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Western Sahara). Not to mention supporting Russia and North Korea.
Right, the Saudis have never destabilized anything, nor have their embrace of batshit-insane wahhabism created the environment and the people that flew two airplanes into some highrises a few decades ago.
I think they are finding that a bad peace was better than a good war.
