If you cannot see how “ISRAEL” runs the “USA” government through “AIPAC” and how both represent the same “Entity” I would recommend you read more about what they “Publicly” publish and what the “world” see happening.
These are “current” example that where we saw “Israeli” government official say “Not a Country”. It also the same when we look at “China” and “Taiwan” and any other “super power” vs “neighbouring nation”
I think there is a misunderstanding, the Ukraine reference how a global power “Russia” did the same steps before the military actions.
