Correct answer:

- To intervene, if necessary, in support of other communist governments.

An example of this approach by Brezhnev can be seen in what happened in Czechoslovakia in 1968. Czechoslovakia's new leader, Alexander Dubcek, promoted reforms, and the people began to move away from communism. This became known as the "Prague Spring." Seeing these actions as a threat to continued communist controlled, Brezhnev responded with force. He sent 600,000 Soviet troops and put down any movement of revolution against communism in Czechoslovakia.
