You think that the US occupied Okinawa until 1972 and then returned it to Japan, only to then decide to play 12 dimensional chess by intentionally antagonizing okinawans and making them hate the us by all the problems they've caused with their military presence, so that Okinawa will some day split from japan and... do what? Because they sure as hell aren't going to want to have anything to do with the US. Maybe they'll become a vassal state of China again like under the Ryukyu kingdom? I'm not sure that outcome would show that the US wasn't stupid.
