The USA does its best not to make it look like a US-run operation. The Secretary-General of NATO invariably is European (but will only be appointed with US consent), and officially all NATO partners are equals. But European countries have cut back heavily on their defense spendings, and most of their reduced armies struggle to meet even basic targets in, for example, international peacekeeping operations. What hardware they have, from bullets to fighter planes, differs per country, as does defense policy. This makes the USA the dominant partner and de facto leader.
