Because A) that would happen and B) US would be all on its own.
Ok, so, that would also be fairly quick. I have to assume you're talking about a conventional attack, for there to be any utility in the argument. The US is huge, with assets pretty evenly diffused throughout the continent and a significant stationed and deployed force, all around the world, within hours reach of any location on Earth. Long before an attack, they would have to make overt movements that would put NATO on high alert. That massive mobilization has a massive price tag in every aspect, not the least of which is vulnerability. The US alone, has enough raw firepower, to decimate such a force with a first strike. Baghdad 'Shock and Awe' was planned for 3 - 5 days, at that intensity, at dozens of targets around the country. UK and Germany said they wouldn't have any part of it, so it was scaled back to a few hours over Baghdad, to save the coalition. The first month of the Iraq War, was just disposing of old munitions. I was MI in the Gulf War and yes, the Iraqi military was no match for anyone, but no one wouldve faired significantly better against the weaponry and tactics employed. We know the Iraqi ADS were functional and accurate, because they were shooting at the bombs coming off the F117s. TLAM and Harpoons were unstoppable. I worked with a survey team that documented cruise missile targets. We saw structures in heavily defended areas hit multiple times, from multiple directions, with foot-scale precision. We saw structures reduced to rubble and no significant damage to its neighbors.
TL;DR
Zero chance of pulling off a sneak attack and the US could deliver such a punishing initial blow, it wouldn't be worth trying it. Dude, the Sandbox is the US screwing around and trying to fight a war without hurting anyone's feelings.
