I honestly can't believe I'm about to say this but Saudi Arabia may just be the stabilizing factor in this conflict. They definitely don't want a regional war in their backyard and they also definitely don't want to fuck up the oil economy. And they do have Trumps ear as well. Definitely a weird dynamic.

Then again this could just be me being hopelessly optimistic and naive.

They have no problem funding one in Yemen.

Oh I know. Yemen is just a lot more contained. Iran and Israel go to war and it's a whole other story.
