He also declared war on the 3 strongest world powers.

Let's not make that same mistake.

Then we would need proof, else they would say we backstabbed them.

We won't make the same mistake, this plan is only useful if and when we're ready.

CFC will attack GCA because they can kill them and no one will attack them. The reason is that CDG will not attack them because we can just take their citys if they commit a good force. And we can not attack them because we would need an ROP from CDG. They will not give it to us because we can ROP rape them. So apoly' or CDG would have to attack CDG or apoly' to keep the blance of power. Because even highly croupt citys can be very good because of the worker whip bug.

MJW, I think you meant CFC would attack CDG. I hardly think CDG would attack themselves!

Not a bad theory by the way.

Actually I think CFC and GCA are pretty evened out. If anything, it will be us or CDG which will turn the balance one side or the other as we are the best defensive civ while CDG the best offensive civ.

Our diplomatic priority was (and still is although relations are much better and we have NAPs with both) to not allow CDG and GCA to gang up on us. We could use GCA against CDG but once we have contact with CFC then our options are much more interesting as anyone who has read the first post will realize.
