my enemy's enemy is my friend

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.
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.
