A phrase that has been in use since days of antiquity.

In Sanskrit, the Arthashastra of Kautilya states:<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_enemy_of_my_enemy_is_my_friend#cite_note-2"><span>[</span></a>

The king who is situated anywhere immediately on the circumference of the conqueror's territory is termed the enemy.
The king who is likewise situated close to the enemy, but separated from the conqueror only by the enemy, is termed the friend (of the conqueror).

— Kautilya, Arthasastra
