my enemy's enemy is my friend

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.
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.

Your enemies? Who are they?

You don't have enemies. Nobody has them. Nobody in this entire world deserves to get hurt.

Enemy Chaser

Probably one of the best weapon pickup in Metal Slug series. The Enemy Chaser consists of small homing missiles which can engage all type of targets. The warheads are similar to the Rocket Launcher but smaller, faster and dealing less explosion. Weakness is unable to cause high damage on armoured vehicles. It is also very useful to find hidden objects and POWs alike.

The weapon comes in yellow boxes marked with black uppercase C, usually containing 40 cartridges (except Metal Slug 6 and 7/XX).
Me and my older bro always compete to pick the Enemy Chaser on multiplayers.

(a phrase taken out of The United States foreign policy):

a phrase meaning: as long as I have a common enemy with a given person and I will take the risk that this friend of mine might betray me later.
Jason: James my man, why the heck are you friends with Robert? 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 had a common enemy, whose name is Carl, and we became friends before the whole affair with Alison simply Robert hates Carl because Carl stole his car. And I hate Carl 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? and you don't care about Robert betraying you? wtf?

James: Don't know yet, but Robert and I became friends because we did have a common enemy, Carl. and I don't care about Robert's betrayal, because I took that risk when I became friends with him.
