What a ludicrous claim when there was a Soviet-aligned country 90 miles south of Florida for most of the cold war that the US never invaded.

Does the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba by the US not count?

That was an invasion by Cubans that was covertly supported by the US, not a US invasion.

It was only a US invasion in the sense that the US entered World War II in 1939 and in the sense that the US is currently at war with Russia.
