If I am understanding your question correctly, whether you can realign in a country where you opponent has no influence, and others have already stated you can not, is not the main issue here. If you as the USSR have influence in Cuba and you play are forced to play CIA Created with DEFCON at 2, it's your U.S. opponent who chooses what to do with the 1 Op, not you. Cuba is couped, game over... unless the US just wants to prolong a friendly game.
No, he was asking whether he could realign in Cuba prior to the play of CIA, hoping to remove his own influence so as not to offer a DEFCON-suicide target for CIA.
Oh, I get it. Totally flew over my head. I suppose if the US had at least one influence in Cuba, he could have done the realignment roll hoping for a high losing dice roll so as not to lose the game. Clever.
