Are you implying that a country might have ulterior motives when allying

So I guess if you help someone but you have an ulterior motive it's like you
didn't help them at all, is that it?

Every time I see one of these, I try to remember which country it was
who
came to the aid of the colonies in their efforts to rid themselves of
British rule.

They only jumped on board because they hated the British, and 2 against 1
looked better for the French rather than going it alone.
