The US Constitution
Entangling alliances is not allowed according to the US constitution:
"While we hear many people today – especially conservatives – say that they really like the constitutional viewpoints of a person like Ron Paul, they’ll commonly turn around and say, well, “except for his foreign policy.” But the fact of the matter is this – virtually all of the founders held this kind of foreign policy viewpoint, and because of that alone, it should never be called quackery…unless you consider the founding fathers a bunch of quacks.
Thomas Jefferson summed it up perfectly in his 1801 inaugural address: “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — ENTANGLING ALLIANCES with none.”

Selected
forviklende alliancer
I would suggest "forviklende", it has much the same meaning and also sounds a bit formal or archaic.
Example sentence:
Fred, samhandel og oprigtigt venskab med alle nationer – forviklende alliancer med ingen.
