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.

There are two meanings- one suggests positive, peaceful and proactive approach to potential conflicts-
The other is to eliminate any potential future problems before they have a chance to become one.
The best advice I can give is- live your life as strife-free as possible by avoiding any conflict. The best way to defeat an enemy is to ensure they never become one.
