That's a difficult one. For me it looks like Saudi Oil money buys new protcetion which the US couldn't provide and these two will also not provide but they of course like to take the money.

At that time especially it was mostly pakistani pilots that were patroling turkish airspace. So all of this is nothing new really. But maybe something changed this time, who knows... What i believe is that this deal was made in the knowledge of USA but also Iran. This deal might leave Iran and Pakistan as the influencial powers in the area, keep saudis calm, checks somewhat the israelis, keeps USA satisfied because because it keeps Iran calm and i don't think that anybody will attack the Houthis seriously. Other countries like Qatar will join the pact soon probably. That is the best USA can do also since they are kicked out of the area.
