lots of such nations agree to become a US protectorate. Why is that?

Would that be lots of nations that sneakily implemented unrestricted mail in voting even though the entire political world was well aware it compromised the inherent security that was afforded by the in person ballot at the polling booth? Would those same countries have had a inexplicable string of pro neo-liberal, pro US leaders that agree with everything the US says on every issue?

What the hell are you talking about? Are you one of those fellas who cannot locate Mexico on the map? Maybe try checking the map of NATO members in Europe, check the variety: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO#/media/File:NATO_30_Members.png

Mail in voting wasn't even an issue when Lithuania elected a nominally center-left government in 1992, i.e. mostly formed of former Communist Party members, which declared NATO and EU membership as the country's strategic aims. And which ever "strings" this country and ones with similar historical experience elected they all indeed supported this strategy. Now after Putin's "special military operation" started in February 2022, hitherto neutral Finland applied for NATO membership too and even most of the radical left https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Alliance_(Finland) voted in favour.
