If Russia truly went to war against the USA, and an invasion of Saudi Arabia would mean a war, NATO would be activated. I don't know if Saudi Arabia is technically a member, but it wouldn't matter.

However, they do risk pissing off the entire Middle East and we in the US have some experience with that.
