in your opinion, what was the thought process behind the united states offering aid to eastern european countries and russia in the early 1990s after the fall of communism?

I think the united states offering ai to eastern european countries and russia in the early 1990s after the fall of communism because 1.They wanted to have more allies.2.They did not want to see most of it's allies and trade partners in ruin.The United States for trade ports to be open, so that the United States would have enough nature resources such as sugar cane rice, and timber also raw materials such as steel, oil, and rubber.
