What do you think?

Last time Saudis were hit, there were no warnings and no chest poundings. They never found out what hit them, who and from where. Aramco went up in smokes and Saudi oil production was cut by at least 50%.

So the answer is no, they won't be attacked at this point. This is pure psychological warfare to first increase the expenses on both Saudis and Americans (eg. every minute a F22 flies costs thousands of dollars).
This is also to increase pressure on Saudis to stop their support of different terrorist organizations and also to shock the global oil market to prevent the price from falling.

The threat itself is very real though. The attack will come eventually. If I had to guess, it would be in winter.
There has also already been two small attacks (more like warnings) on Saudi occupied ports in Yemen.

They have a lot of common goals and interests.

You don't know either one of these countries. There is absolutely nothing in common between the two, geopoliticallly, economically or ideologically speaking.

we would likely defend them

Well the US military hasn't been capable of defending its own bases in Saudi Arabia when Yemenis forces attacked them, neither could they defend Aramco, Saudi airfields, etc.

It should be blatantly obvious to anyone with half of a working brain how much better of America would be had Trump beaten Biden in the last election.

Trump was fantastic for America; during his "reign" the attacks against US military bases increased by 400% according to CENTCOM, Saudis were hit multiple times including Aramco, the $220 million USN aircraft was shot down in Persian Gulf, the CIA E11A jet was shot down over Afghanistan carrying high ranking spies, amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard went up in smokes in Naval Base San Diego, the largest ballistic missile attack ever against United States took place leaving 140 dead and a 1000 wounded, 2 men infiltrated highest US intelligence circles by pretending to be agents with the Department of Homeland Security to extract all kinds of secrets for months and a lot more

He was obviously fantastic for US military and intelligence community. I didn't even mention how he posted classified information on his twitter account... Grin

Iranians finally having enough of the Islamic and theocratic fascism so they revolt against the police and the government. Iranian women taking off the hijabs and throwing it in the dirt. They've had enough. The regime won't tolerate it.

According to the London based propaganda machine yes but in reality more than 15 million people who marched on Friday Aban 13 (November 4) supporting the government and protesting against Western/Saudi terrorism and propaganda disagree with you.
