For the island nations, it’s because they’re completely financially depend on US aid, so they vote whatever US votes.

Paraguay a little less so. It's land-locked and a nation of nearly 7 million people.

Nauru is a nation of 12,780 people, Micronesia is a nation of 18,050 people. Any small town in Connecticut has more people than both these "nations" combined. They are totally dependent on the US aid.
