a phrase (used in The United States foreign policy since the end of The Spanish-American War/Roosevelt Corollary) meaning :

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.

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.

Chrissy: Ya, I've been doing some work for Tony, if he gets this new big contract, he is going to pay me, but for now, I am just gonna lay low.
Adriana: Chrissy, you have been doing this for 6 months and he hasn't paid you. You're in the White Collar Friend Zone. Even if he gets the contract, he is never going to pay.
