They wouldn't join anyways but it doesn't seem right that I need to spent 10 favors to get them to prepare for war and then have 10 more to get rid of the -1000 reasons for joining.

Getting them ready is an extra 10 so you need 20 total if you want to get them ready for a really big war. You can take them on your own though don't be a baby.

I was worried Timmy was going to join that is why I prepared them for war. But they were losing a war already so it was a waste of ten favors but it just doesn't seem right that you need to spend ten to get them ready for war and then have another ten to be able to call them in.

Well, the prepare makes them not start any offensive wars so you decide if that's worth it for you. I used it just once so far, to guarantee my two allies would help me after a couple of months when I marked a nation as a co-beligerent. Otherwise one may have been busy and I'd have to content for taking less land, unthinkable. I think the +10 prepared could be much higher to ensure they join you unless it's someone they really like. This to offset the distant war that is sometimes really stupid, maybe +50 so they agree to go a little out of their way preparing supply wagons and picnic baskets for the journey.
