This was already happening since 1945. Operation Gladio? Killing Palme? Literally setting up Italy's and Germany's political system? The Suez Crisis? The whole "revolutions" that brought down the eastern bloc?
I pointed this out a few years ago and people would not believe me that european states are vassals. They found it laughable. Why? Because america allows (and enables) a limited form of imperial extraction? Do you think they do not benefit from it?
