Apologies in advance if your first language is Slavic--I understand the omission then.
Otherwise, I wish to point out that you are missing the second person possessive pronoun, in order for your opening statement to be grammatically correct--assuming that "idiots" refers to the subject of your sentence, thus:
You're your own enemy - idiots!
An alternative is that you intended to express yourself by means of a verbless sentence and have used a contraction instead of a pronoun, as in:
Your own enemy - idiots! Apart from the obvious spelling mistake, I would find this phrase poorly chosen due to its ambiguity, as it's not clear whether the interjective clause "idiots!" refers to the enemy as the subject of the implied verb "to be" (although this in itself raises the issue of concordance in number unless the idiots as a group are the enemy, rather than each of them individually), or whether it is an exophoric reference to the missing subject of the preceding clause.
I would be most appreciative if you could clarify the above. Thank you.
