Frankly, there's no good reason to believe that it won't be business as usual between the US and KSA under Biden, perhaps with a few cosmetic tweaks for public consumption. https://twitter.com/FrankRGardner/status/1354778063201034245
Call that overly pessimistic or fatalistic if you like, but I just think it's a realistic appraisal of the politics of the Democrats under Biden. What is there in his track record that suggests he'll make some kind of radical break? Absolutely nothing.
