TPF, you're right about one thing - CNTE is beginning to resemble CNS a bit. Not because reckless alliances often get dog-piled in lop-sided wars, but because reckless alliances often get dog-piled in lop-sided wars as a result of their actions and this leads to complaining and speculation on their behalf.
If you're bitter or otherwise displeased by present circumstances than I'd suggest doing a better job selecting your allies next round, and doing a much better job not making enemies.
