Making My Enemy Into My Enemy's Enemy" - will NEVER work, but, simply because they're too scared NOT to try it ( all over again and again and again, which is Einstein's definition of INSANITY) too scared to risk an enemy becoming (or more accurately, remaining) the ally of their other enemies, "our leaders" can be almost guaranteed to ALWAYS try to help and fund some of our enemies at any given time, in the forlorn hope that such cowardly Submission may at least temporarily engender warm enough feelings in them to help offput the dangers represented by the other enemies.

"If we don't fund the ayatollahs who hate us, then the Russians will fund them and so secure all the oil reserves in the Middle East! If we don't (at least, covertly) hire fund train and arm "al Qaeda" or "the Taliban" or even ISIS, then China of Russia will!"

Their motto must be: "If we don't rush in first, then some other fools will surely beat us to it! Whee!"
