bad idea. the ennemy, if he is launching at you, will catch you pants down as you will neither retaliate really strongly nor will you defend really well... plus, it leaves you open to sub attacks all that time.

alliances can change... just like friendships... why shouldn't you be able to switch alliances if you find a better strategic opportunity?
