“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is a proverb that has long, and apparently mistakenly, been attributed to Bedouins.
It’s unfair to them, as it contains the false-dichotomy fallacy. Sometimes the saying is correct, as when the Allies decided in World War II to side with Josef Stalin against Adolf Hitler. Other times, both options are equally bad.
This is, however, the way many people insist on reacting to George Soros and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two men currently going toe-to-toe for control of much of the globe’s hearts and minds. You either side with one or with the other.
Or, if you attack one of them, it’s because you are in league with the other...

Maybe Putin will do everyone a big favor...
I wouldn’t be upset if Putin has Soros poked with an umbrella.

[Putin: Communist ideology similar to Christianity, Lenin’s body like saintly relics]
“Putin went further by comparing the Communists’ attitude to the Bolshevik leader Lenin to the veneration of saints in Christianity.”

Quack, Waddle...
Soros is the most overrated villain since the Wizard of Oz. Soros is worth $22 billion?
Big deal, the Koch brothers are worth $41 billion. All the caterwauling over Soros makes him seem more powerful than he is.
So, I assume you support Soros?

How’s that work out, typically?
Sometimes the saying is correct, as when the Allies decided in World War II to side with Josef Stalin against Adolf Hitler.
Hitler was a jerk. He deserved whatever self destruction he wrought . Stalin was much worse and Marxism was much worse than nazism.
They so deserved each other. And the USSR was as grateful, at war’s end, for our help as France was grateful for our liberating them. In other words, not grateful at all. We should never had aided Russia.
haha so appropriate!
