I think it's more a question of how the US would benefit from trade with these countries. Even if they received financial support and were rebuilt, a strong threat like the the USSR would just run right through them anyway. That was what Hitler did in WWII, anyway. Really the only way to fortify nations enough to protect from the USSR was to get them all to rival it in terms of firepower and influence, which is obviously an impossible task.
