Best Answer

If you see two potential enemies are forming an alliance, you inject, discreetly and diplomatically, distrust and friction between them. That way, they never unite to become politically strong enough to pose a threat to you.

An example would be the enlargement of the European Union earlier this decade. Britain's two natural enemies within Europe are France and Germany - because we have fought against them the most bitter wars over the last thousand years, and they could unite to threaten our financial preeminence within Europe. By making sure that nations who suffered under Nazism in WW2 are granted equal voting rights, we need only to point out that Germany want something and they will happily side with us to ensure they don't get it!
