As for Israel the problem is more that it isn’t a lapdog, it looks like US is Israel’s lapdog. As it looks like Israel does whatever it wants even if it is against US interests, and US still supports it.
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.

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.

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.

The former chief of NATO has already admitted that the war started due to NATO expansion, go peddle your propaganda somewhere else
The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.
The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that. So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.
Regarding Ukraine, there could be nothing further than truth https://youtu.be/7gxssycoxz0

Maidan coup & fascist attacks on Eastern Ukraine:
The tail is not wagging the dog. The US would shut it down if Israel ran up against US interests enough. But Israel doesn’t run up against US interests; it’s in line with them. Israel is the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia. As Biden has said throughout his career, “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”
