The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

You can credibldy argue that Israel has an outsized influence of US foreign policy, but to call the US an “Israeli puppet state” is such a hyperbolic exaggeration that it sounds less like a valid criticism and more like the old “Jews control the world” antisemitic hate speech.
The US has far more influence on Israel than vice versa
Its hard to tell sometimes whether somebody is using phrasing like that naively or as a dog whistle (which is why its an effective dog whistle). The reality is Israel plays a critical role in maintaining US empire and public image and Netanyahu is cashing in those in for a racist child-killing spree.
Agreed. The USA is simply too powerful to ever become anyone’s lapdog, they’re a force unto themselves
