When you have a common enemy you become allies.

Time to re-read Alice in Wonderland, everyone.

Remember -
Sometimes, up is down. Sometimes, down is up. Sometimes, when you’re lost, you’re found.”

Other Alice quotes are also appropriate:

“Curiouser and curiouser!”

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

“We’re all mad here.”

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t.”

“It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

“I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.”

“If you don’t know where you are going, any road can take you there.”

“I’m not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.”

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.” “I don’t much care where—” “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”

I guess it depends on who you’re talking about. I don’t believe the vast majority of Americans view Canada as enemies. They’re the pretty country north of us. That’s why I get pissed off when people put America down…like WE have a CHOICE now that an ass is in power? People are way too personal. It’s my country with millions of different opinions, not me. Think of us as people, not a huge conglomerate…we’re just individuals, like anyone else.

WW2. We allied with the USSR then after the war we became enemies and where enemies until 1991 when the USSR collapsed then we where friends until Putin came to power and we have always remained enemies ever since. Now during times when countries are enemies it isn’t common to try and work on relations. Basically when a two enemy countries have a common enemy they become friends like the USA and USSR or create a non-aggression pact like Germany and the USSR. When friends become enemies it could be because one got a different government compared to the other or when a country attacks the other country or its allies.
