Sure, it does if the post-war #1 is weaker than the per-war #1. And what's the alternative - not joining the war and letting the current #1 win? The benefits of this war are that a) you gain friends because of the mutual struggle, and b) you change a situation from where someone is clearly winning to somebody else who might win.
Looking at the Apolyton demogame, Sulla had voiced his frustration (and rightfully so, IMHO) how the other teams didn't want to join us against PAL, the clear run-away civ. And now he blames the other teams for doing just that? I don't get it.

I can see the CoW's reasoning as a whole, and Jowy's reasoning on a personal level, but if India is KO'd then the only guy who could possibly stand up to Kathlete one on one is Whosit, and that's looking increasingly unlikely based on Whosit's development. Basically my point is that Sulla's frustrations came from the fact that he saw an opportunity for RB to win, while Jowy really doesn't get a winning position from his participation in the CoW.
I do think Sulla's comments are somewhat hypocritical in retrospect given his reaction to the CoW in this game, but Imperio could easily have surpassed Team RB if their diplo was better.
