I thought most people who played lots of games where you made alliances would understand but perhaps not...so...

When you ally with someone knowing that you will use that alliance to "learn" about their empire and then drop the alliance and attack...

Or...

Ally with someone just to sneak ships past their minefields or protected warp holes and then drop the alliance when you are past their defenses...

Or...

Use your alliance to learn about someone's empire and then feed all the ship locations (etc.) to another person to attack you.

I think you get the picture.
