There is a limit to the amount of power and knowledge one can have in this world, Faust saw it. Faust was a hero for his legendary actions and thoughts. He wanted more and more power and knowledge to the point of betraying his beliefs and mindset to obtain them. That's exactly what he did: he made a Faustian bargain. A Faustian bargain comes from when “Faust, the legend, gave up his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge.” The true meaning is “to make a Faustian bargain”: to be willing to sacrifice anything to satisfy an unlimited desire for knowledge or power.” A Faustian bargain is still relevant in today's society, there are Faustian bargains that are made some for bad reasons and others for the better good. In the articles “Obama's27, 2015 Eric Edelman talks about an agreement between the United States and Turkey regarding US missions. The US and Turkish governments have been arguing for a year. The United States wanted Turkey to allow them to conduct missions and to allow planes and other aircraft to fly over their territory for military purposes. Eventually an agreement was reached that allowed the United States to fly planes over Türkiye. But this came at a cost, according to Edelman: Too much was put on the table and too much was sacrificed. According to him, this agreement will create problems “both for the success of the American campaign against the Islamic State and for the stability of Türkiye” (Edelman 1). Turkish President Erdogan wants to keep the Middle East out of Türkiye. Then he starts conducting missions to bomb somewhere and what that creates is tension. Eliminating the Kurds may seem like a good thing in the present, but it is very bad in the future. This would allow some areas to actually be a safe place where these Islamic groups could hide and not be safe. Turkey eliminating Kurdish forces is a big deal, says EDELMAN. There are some ways that Edelman thinks we can somehow control Turkey so they don't make things worse. Edelman states that “limiting Turkey's access to high-level meetings, reducing intelligence cooperation, and withholding American support” (1) is one way to infer the extent of the damage Turkey is doing. Both authors of these articles lustfully use the Faustian bargain and provide proof that it happened. It is important to know that the Faustian bargain continues to exist and in most cases can affect many people, not just the person who made the bargain. For every limit there is always someone who wants to break it and overcome it and sometimes is willing to give everything
