Other countries, however, do get dragged into America's wars.

The US is the only ever to invoke article 5, requiring other countries to come to its aid. It did that after Sept 11th. Fair enough, other countries were pulled in and helped out. Then the US tried to roll that war in Afghanistan into another war in Iraq. Various countries like France and Canada refused to participate. The threats and anger directed at them for not joining in was huge. Other countries like the UK didn't fight it much and were pulled into that war.
