Israel has absolutely no interest in Cuba in any way, shape, or form. If Israel has kompromat on Fetterman, which it doesn't even need since the guy would do anything they asked him anyway, they're not going to direct him to go against Cuba unless the US power elite asks them to do it. The USA is still in charge in this relationship. Israel has developed some of its own interests for survival and has to coerce powerful people in the US sometimes, but Israel is not setting the Cuba agenda.

i sometimes wonder if a cuban invasion will be the next distraction and to throw trump a bone that needs from failure in iran.

From the US spin doctor perspective, possibly. But Israel needs the US 100% focused on West Asia. It's existential for them

so is cuba for a capitalist controlled united states. the capitalist oligarchy have already lost the narrative battle that socialism creates hellholes in countries with vast numbers of people and resources like china and losing that narrative w a small nation that continues to thrive despite all attempts to choke it to death proves that capitalism isn't necessary nor fundamental to anything.

Not really. Iran is an existential problem for Israel because of its ability to project force. Cuba is an indirect existential problem for the USA because it might inspire the USA working class to become an existential threat to the oligarchy. These are very different.

It's not existential for them. They're zionazi genocidal fascists.
