I agree that it was a good idea for the US to put itself before other countries during the Hungarian Revolution. Hungary was under direct Soviet control and if the US helped the rebels they would have been showing their blatant opposal to the Soviets. That could have provoked a much more serious war in which the theory of MAD would come into play. Soviet relations were important and Eisenhower proved his understanding of this even though it was against his anti-communist goals.
