>UK have the ability to be independent
I honestly don't think the five eyes countries can act independent outside of the US's will. The US sees english speaking countries as a potential threat to it's hegemony. Plus, there are those in the political class, who are willing to subordinate themselves to the US.

>Are all Non-US NATO countries puppet-states or Vassal-states or proxy-states or whatever?
Yes
>France and the UK have the ability to be independent since they have nukes but they choose not to be for some reason
They're still economically bound to the western sphere which is ruled by US. Ruffling america's feathers could cause loss of profits for shareholders

>NATO countries just seem to let America smear its dick all over them in exchange for “Defense” which is actually just offensive somewhere in the other side of the world
NATO is the extension of the USrael Empire built by america for the sole purpose of fighting communism. Boss says jump you jump. If anything europe leaders have had it easy for a few decades, almost forgetting who's in charge, but now they're all falling neatly in line

France is building up military capabilities for her to be able to defend against mutts. For UK they have chosen to be a USA colony.

they're vassals, which is different from a puppet or a proxy. A vassal or puppet can serve as a proxy, but even an ally or independent force with a common enemy can serve as proxy. A puppet has no independent will. A vassal is dependent on and serve its master but has independent agency, and will have to be forced to act against its interests.
hezbollah or the houthis for example are iranian ally and proxy, but not a puppet nor a vassal. Israel is an ally, vassal and proxy of the us, but not a puppet.
The EU are vassals of US. Ukraine is a vassal and proxy of the US. Syria is both a puppet of turkey, and a vassal of the US.
