I never said that the US was "occupying" all countries it has bases in. For the countries mentioned, they are definitely occupied. The governments are okay with it because they are subordinate to the US. Also, two of the three countries mentioned the United States defeated in war and has been occupying ever since.

For some reason I can't reply to the other comment so I am replying to my own comment.

Just because they said it's over doesn't mean it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_of_US_military_presen...

That's verifiably false. US occupation of most of Germany ended in 1955, and of Berlin in 1990. US occupation of most of Japan ended in 1952, and of the Ryukyu Islands in 1972.
