Distinctions
Self-serving is quite all right. Everyone is, some to more extremes than others.
Self-serving-to-the-detriment-of-allies is NOT all right. If you weren't going to help them, why ally in the first place?
And if the alliance is a mistake, call off the alliance BEFORE breaking the treaty. If the alliance is formally called off before doing actions that would break treaties embedded in the terms of the alliance, then you are not liable for it if the treaties are called off.
If the treaties are still in effect, and you break them, you're in deep shit.
It would have been simpler to just cancel the whole thing...
