Japan has had installed leaders since the WWII. The occupying army is still there.

South Korea has had installed leaders since the Korean War.

Hah what?

The US hated Shinzo Abe for the longest damn time, didn't stop him from being re-elected multiple times.

Also, its not appropriate to call the forces still in Japan an "occupying army". There is a joint forces treaty in place, and Japan has multiple times refused to amend Article 9 of their constitution

In South Korea, they've deposed the previous President. Seems like the US is doing a bad job installing leaders there.

Yes, there are forces which are fighting to kick out the occupying forces and there are forces keeping them in check. Long gone are the days of occupying forces marching and parading. It's shadow governments and pawns now.
