Regarding Ukraine, there could be nothing further than truth https://youtu.be/7gxssycoxz0

Yeah I'm not watching a 35 minute video with no context or explanation. I also didn't say anything about NATO expansion, the apparent topic of the video.

Perhaps you could describe what you think it wrong about what I have said.

As for Israel the problem is more that it isn't a lapdog, it looks like US is Israel's lapdog.

Israel knows its value to US interests and leverages this to its advantage, but never confuse this for Israel being the lapdog. They are dependent on US "aid", weapons, investment, and diplomatic cover. Do you really think that tiny country is dominant over the global superpower?

Also, be careful when making this claim, as it is often made in antisemitic circles.

As it looks like Israel does whatever it wants even if it is against US interests, and US still supports it.

This is because it is otherwise fully aligned with the interests of the US ruling class. It serves a useful purpose. This is also because US propaganda would have you believe that it never tolerates, say, the killing of Americans. Of course it does, it just uses this as an excuse when it wants to do something terrible to another country.
