Compromise
Hi,
Can the word 'compromise,' when used as a noun, take the preposition 'with'? As in:
"No compromise with the enemy will be allowed."
"The enemy is seeking a compromise with us."?
I am asking because in all the instances where I see the word it is used as a stand-alone word, as in:
"After lengthy talks the two sides finally reached a compromise."
Thank you.

Thank you, CJ. But I must say: I don't always trust examples on Google.
