41 play both ends against the middle
играть на чужих разногласиях, использовать в своих целях чужие разногласияWhile the Church, true to its historic policy of playing both ends against the middle was not adverse to having numerous friends in the camp of the revolutionary forces, by no means all the lower clergy supported the revolution... (W. Foster, ‘Outline Political History of the Americas’, book I, ch. IX) — Правда, Церковь, верная традиционной политике использования в своих целях противоречий, раздирающих общество, охотно обзаводилась многочисленными друзьями в лагере революционных сил; но далеко не все низшее духовенство поддерживало революцию.
Dao will be part of the junta, of course; but from our point of view he's the part we need least. he's playing both ends against the middle. Don't forget he's still Assistant Chief of Staff to Cung. (M. West, ‘The Ambassador’, ch. VI) — Дао, конечно, войдет в состав хунты, но на него меньше всего можно рассчитывать, на наш взгляд. Он хочет угодить и нашим и вашим. Не забывайте, что он все-таки помощник начальника штаба у Кунга.
