Am I missing something? If the Dothraki go to war who can possibly stop them?

Don't pay too much mind to the North and Wildlings. Not too long ago the Wildlings had 100,000 strong as well. Ramsay has 5000, but that's not the combined might of the North. Which is one of the reasons Roose wanted to get loyalty from the other houses. The Lannisters sent a force of 30,000 towards the Vale to free Tyrion in season 1, and that was less than half their force. Renly had 100,000 strong with the backing of Highgarden and not all the men of the Stormlands.
The North, Westerland, Stormlands and Riverlands, lost a lot of troops during the War of the Five Kings, however, Highgarden didn't take a huge hit. The Vale and Dorne are Kingdoms themselves with numbers comparable to the others pre-war and they didn't lose anyone during the conflict. It's pretty fair to say that each Kingdom has (had) a force of around the magnitude of 50,000. And while many of the soldiers wouldn't be fitted with the finest armour and weaponry, they certainly are more equipped than that Dothraki horde.
