None of them are terribly US specific. The UK is involved in all the same conflicts. France, all but the intervention in Somalia. Three of them have countries like Belgium and Canada involved.
The two fighting pirates who are attacking US ships overseas are clearly "defending the US" under international and US law. (And the coalition there includes Russia and North Korea fighting on the US side). The others are the US honoring it's treaty obligations by defending her allies or honoring the request of a government for help, usually by providing training and logistics support.
Except for Syria, where the US is actually leading a coalition. But that is more a humanitarian intervention than anything else.
