Dont forget that, in order to make a proper Bay of Pigs comparison, it would require that the U.S. train, transport, and supply U.S. citizens to Cuba in order to make Cuba the 51st State.US personnel (mainly CIA) provided air support and some were on the ground in Cuba. Several were killed. BTW, there's zero evidence that Russia is interested in conquering all of Ukraine. They're trying to weaken or replace the Kiev government. Which is exactly what the US tried to do in the Bay of Pigs. The analogy stands.

The analogy is weak. Please identify any contemporaneous communication from Kennedy that he intended to carve a portion of Cuba out for himself. Your comment that there is "zero evidence that Russia is interested in conquering all of Ukraine" [emphasis added] is meaningless.
