If there's a goal to this war at all it's to install a puppet regime that won't sabotage the west's imperialist ambitions in the region. That's how this ties in to empire. Iran has been a thorn in the west's side for almost 50 years and now the Epstein class wants revenge.

Also, your take on Cuba wrongly assumes the US wouldn't attack a country that poses no threat, especially when said country, much like Venezuela, represents a socio-economic order that directly contradicts empire. They also don't have to pose a threat for their labor and resources to still come in handy.

I never said the US wouldn't attack a country that's no threat. That's exactly what is happening with Iran. They weren't a threat to America, but we attacked them anyway. Why would Cuba be any different? But it's still not imperialism if the US is just doing it for funsies.
