Putin demanded the anti-ethnic Russian efforts in Ukraine be ended. They were not. Putin launched a Special Miliary Operation for the same reason Eisenhower sent in troops to Little Rock back in 1957 to protect black Arkansas students.

1. Eisenhower did not send any military forces into a foreign sovereign country.

2. Eisenhower did not fire-bomb civilian centers in Arkansas.

3. Eisenhower did not annex vast swathes of Arkansas.

But other than that, your comparison is totally valid!

“Putin demanded the anti-ethnic Russian efforts in Ukraine be ended.”

I still believe that to be true.

“They were not.”

I still believe that to be true.

“Putin launched a Special Miliary Operation for the same reason Eisenhower sent in troops to Little Rock back in 1957 to protect black Arkansas students.”

Putin’s methodology was radically different as you have made clear, but my statement is “...for the same reason...”.

My “Little Rock” statement left out a lot of what is significant.

I linked to a Wikipedia article giving additional reasons in a following post.
