"Provide financial and military aid to countries fighting a Communist takeover."

Briefly: the Truman Doctrine (1947) committed the U.S. to contain communism by supporting countries (not by direct war) — notably Greece and Turkey — with economic and military assistance. It did not call for forcing the USSR out of Eastern Europe, creating buffer zones, or direct military conflict with the USSR.
