My enemy's enemy
From RationalWiki
My enemy's enemy is my friend is an old Arab saying. It explains some strange political, religious and epistemological alliances, such as the second world war alliance of the US and Britain with the USSR, the alliance between the US and Pol Pot, Mormons and Catholics in (e.g.) the Proposition 8 campaign in California.
The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) uses this argument extensively in international relations.
