Certainly possible. War creates strange bedfellows.
It seems that Germany and Russia were allies from 1939 to 1941 and shortly after Germany invaded Poland from one side, Russia invaded them from the other side. Then in June 1941 Germany invaded Russia. In December 1941 Japan staged the attack on Pearl Harbor followed by Germany declaring war on the United States less than a week later. Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945 and on August 7, 1945 Russia finally declared war on their previous friend Japan just in time to get in on the action prior to Japan's surrender on September 2, 1945. Then on March 12, 1947 the cold war began and lasted until December 26, 1991 but in the interval such minor incidences as the Korean War (1950 - 1953) and the Vietnam War (1955 - 1975) found us on opposite sides with our WW II ally China.
I guess we just have to know what year it is to determine who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. We are the exception though unless you consider our internal conflicts such as the Indian Wars and that little skirmish from April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865. Those two little events only resulted in a death total of around 650,000 individuals out of a total population of 31 million. It has been said that war is hell but it has also been said that war is profitable.
