No idea why you think all Muslims report to Saudi Arabia's command, having holy places does not mean they are loyal to that regime, Muslim regimes will do nothing in such an event, 300 million Indonesian Muslims cannot do anything.
If Saudi Arabia is incapable ( not enough divisions ready, munitions supply ) of war with someone then they might lose in such a war, what your allies do next is irrelevant that's not Saudi Arabia that's someone else, besides even allies wont always do it 100%, keep in mind the oil exports need to keep going to prevent a full world crisis, if someone annexes Saudi Arabia's located in the east oilfields then the US would have to make a deal unless they have enough firepower/troops present in the ME to take them out quickly, they were talking about making such a deal with Saddam in the event if he would have advanced and taken lands of Saudi Arabia in Hasa region which would have affected the oil market, such a deal would be forcing Iraq out of Saudi but making him keep Kuwait, this had also to do with the US needing most forces on alert from the Soviets which would not give them the ability to bring 700.000 US forces to the ME for war, this if Saddam would have done it in a few weeks bringing major obstacles to the world with the oil market of course, he half assed it instead by not advancing further while he could have easily done it quickly and effective making the war a "success".
Iranians talking as if they can defeat the US or fend of a full scale attack by the US are just as full of sh!t as Saudis that think they can fend off Russia in a full scale attack with thousands of cruise missiles, how would you stop them, the US fired around 800 tomahawk missiles at Iraq in 2003 taking out all radars, military bases and other important targets, Russia would use the same strategy disabling the air force before theirs even arrive.
They will if the holy sites will get attacked. I am not sure that you know about the consequences for any country doing that from Muslims. This has NOTHING to do with Al-Saud. I could be ruling KSA as an Jewish dictator and people would still react if the holy sites were about to get destroyed or Allah (swt) forbid targeted.
Eh, from where would the Russians even make a ground invasion? From the air, LOL? Russia is located too far away. They don't have any client states nearby to start an invasion from there even or attack. Their only chance is an atomic attack which will never happen because it will impact well over 10 countries as I mentioned. Besides all this is fantasy.
I am not sure how something that happened over 20 years ago is relevant. KSA is not the same country or most importantly military anymore. Also I doubt that the American, the international community or the Arab world would allow Saddam to annex Kuwait. Or the Kuwaitis themselves. In the end it would return to Kuwait one way or another and Saddam would not be able to rule forever. Nor his two son's. Too much oil for one untrustworthy dictator to control. Might as well add Khuzestan if you have such thoughts.
KSA's military, geography (KSA is bigger than Iran and Iraq combined) with all kind of landscapes etc. is a different beast. The Russians would probably target the infrastructure, oil raffineries in the coastal parts of Eastern Province (Khaleeji part of KSA) and maybe target a few major cities but they would not be allowed to do all that without a reaction from the international community, nor do they dare to do it.
Lastly you must have forgot about the American bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar. They won't look silently at it.
All in all this discussion is unrealistic and quite stupid. We are not playing age of empires here.
