Isn't that what the US is doing with Saudi Arabia? Gen. McChrystal was making this argument on the Economist podcast. If we sell them the weapons, at least we have some control in the long run, because these type of deals include training, logistics, support...etc. and you leverage these dependencies in future negotiations. Would you rather give this leverage to Russia or China?

I think the same might be applicable to this scenario.

What US is doing with Saudi Arabia is a travesty of its own. All that effort we're spending to goad other countries into an Iran embargo should really be a KSA embargo.
