When has NATO/UN ever done anything unless the US carries all the water?

I was thinking exactly this. I can see a big vacuum in the area, with Putin very happy to step right in.
He already has an alliance with Syria.
Im not liking this at all
Let Putin drop a couple of trillion in the area.
What I guess I dont get, but have read some articles that mirror my thoughts, is that we had between 400 and 2000 total people in country. And of that number we had between <100 and 500 physical advisors embedded...
Those numbers, if correct, are so tiny as to be, IMO, inconsequential in the grand scheme.
So what was keeping Turkey(and whoever else) from doing what they are now doing(one article I read said Turkey was getting ready to do what they are doing anyway, thus a big reason we pulled out)? The thought that if they kill 1 American we might attack them? Because the number of assets we had there was not enough to make a difference. The media act like we had 50k front line combat troops rolling around in M1A2's running the show over there.
