You put up a laundry list of nations that with very little effort would be on the other side of the fence... Saudi Arabia needs only for a minor uprising to occur to blow the royal family off their thrones, and the US will be out on it's ear faster than fast. After they fall, the rest are just dominoes in the chain. Kuwait was so weak that Saddam overthrew it, and needed the big buddies from the west to be saved... otherwise the other arab nations would have let it go. The other countries listed are mostly smaller, and have strong ties to more radical factions in the area.

I presented a list of supporting countries - countries that are currently permitting the US bases, headquarters, fly-over right, intelligence centers, and more.
You are presenting a series of hypotheticals, a chain of "what-ifs". if .. if .. then ... if .. dominoes .. more if's.
You don't see a difference?
I can make Kuwait defeat China with enough "if's".
