Sure, and in fact WWI was such a mess because of all the alliances.
But we don’t have that, we have one big alliance (NATO) where the members agree to fight if any of the members is attacked. That’s it. NATO forces don’t go conquering. If you don’t want NATO opposing you, just… don’t attack a NATO country? That doesn’t seem hard to do. I’ve done a lot of things in my life, but “sparking an international incident” has never even been on the list of possibilities.
If you’re part of the global south, there’s a decent chance NATO opposes you or someone you’re closely affiliated with. Is your suggestion to those countries for them to just not be part of the global south?

Because that’s incredibly hard to do.
