You're thinking about this from a political perspective. I am not. This is far beyond simple politicking right now. They are evil, they should be punished.
You won't get to punish them unless you first defeat them. You won't defeat them unless you go about it smartly. Trying to fight the entire world all at once is a recipe for you being defeated and 'punished'.
No one is trying to fight the entire world at once. We're pointing out that from a moral perspective(the only relevant perspective in this case really), nothing is gained by elevating one evil above another for temporary political gain. In fact, elevating one evil above another for temporary political gain is how we got into this mess in the first place.
I am not going to embrace a leftist just because they happen to be attacking another leftist at the time. They are both equally contemptible, and they're still my enemy and the enemy of the free people of the United States.

That is a categorical statement based on absolutely nothing. In reality, this is the way it has always been, and will always be. Or have you never heard of balance of power politics?

You don't have to, but if you are smart, you will elevate the attack and make sure that the greater threat receives a good amount of damage.
Straight up wrong. This is a moral war, not a political one.

If two cobras are fighting in the jungle, and one of them kills the other, then good. That's one less cobra.
It doesn't mean that you take the winner home and tell your kids to hug it. It means you chop off the head of the winner too, because cobras are a goddamn menace.

No.
It is not "smart" to hug a snake.
