a phrase taken out of The United States foreign policy, but meaning here:
as long as I have a common enemy with a given person, I can be friends with that person; I'll take the risk that this friend of mine might betray me later.
as long as I have a common enemy with a given person, I can be friends with that person; I'll take the risk that this friend of mine might betray me later.
Jason: James my man, why the heck are you friends with Robert? didn't he convince you and Alison to break up and the took Alison's virginity anyways?
James: Listen, my enemy's enemy is my friend. What I mean is, Alison and I were already having relationship issue before Robert became a regular at the bar where she then worked. Not only that but Robert and I have a common enemy, whose name is Carl. Robert hates Carl cuz Carl stole his car. And I hate Robert because he borrowed money from me to pay rent on a stupid storage locker and never bothered paying me back.
Jason: so now the you and Robert want to gang up on Carl?
James: Don't know yet, but Robert and I are friends because we do have a common enemy.

a phrase (used in The United States foreign policy since the end of The Spanish-American War/Roosevelt Corollary) meaning :
as long as I (or my country) have a common enemy with a given person (or other country) I will take the risk that this friend (or allied country) of mine might later betray me.
as long as I (or my country) have a common enemy with a given person (or other country) I will take the risk that this friend (or allied country) of mine might later betray me.
Jason: James my man, I am doing a polit sci paper for school and am not sure what would be an appropriate epitome of the phrase my enemy's enemy is my friend.
James: The perfect epitome of this phrase would be Afghanistan. The United States and Afghanistan collaborated against The Soviet Union in 1979-1986 and then Afghanistan betrays The United States by fostering Al Quaeda.
