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.
