You need to learn history. Puppet states are the norm throughout history, not some delusion. Look up "the age of imperialism" and learn something. Nobody invades a country unless they intend to control it.

There are no good guys fighting bad guys. You have been watching too many movies. You need to think of it like competing mafias. It is bad guys fighting bad guys. There are no white hats.

Are you serious? The US alone has had multiple such invasions.

Do you expect the western empire to admit it is an empire?
Imperialists do not like admitting they are imperialists. I think you are being naive. You probably think that Australia and New Zealand are no longer colonies of the UK too. Don't bother telling me when they declared independence and why. Saying it doesn't make it true.

Japan is a de facto colony of the USA. Do you really think Japan has complete autonomy from the USA? Of course not. How many US military bases are in Japan?
When a US soldier stationed in Japan raped and killed a little Japanese girl did anything change much?

How many US military bases are in South Korea? Do you think when Kim Jung Un says SK is a puppet of the USA he is just making it up? How about Guam? Guam is a US territory. Colony or not a colony?

You are naive. Why do you think Japan has US military bases there?

In the 19th century during the age of imperialism. It was so common back then it was considered normal. Now nobody wants to pay for imperialism while the imperialists pay for nothing, so the imperialists do their best to hide it.

All the signs are there though. All you have to do is look at their actions.
