Judge Clark told NewsMax bluntly, "We in the Reagan administration were prepared to recommend the use of force if necessary to stop such an invasion."

The headline does not seem to match the quote.

Who was prepared to recommend the use of force to whom ?

I noticed that to and I have the same question.

Maybe Newsmax is overselling the story a little.

Had it come to that pass, I wonder what Reagan would really have done. Invaded East Germany? Landed marines at Gdansk?

I doubt he would have sat by idly, however.
