my enemy's enemy is my friend

(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.

No enemies

A phrase which originated from the anime/manga series Vinland Saga, implying that the person stating it has nobody who they consider to be their enemy and they have nobody that they need to hurt. The phrase has gained significant traction with the release of the second season of Vinland Saga and people have started to incorporate the phrase within their lives in an attempt to better themselves.
Guy 1 - Hey, aren’t you going to punch that asshole? he’s insulted you in the worst way possible!

Guy 2 - Nah man, I have no enemies, there is nobody I need to go out of my way to hurt.
