You make it sound like the UK was bankrupt because of their own mismanagement. They were basically repelling an invasion for years while being the USA's stepping stone into the European theatre.
Acting like it's noble to build up the country of the destroyed enemy, but not assist the ravaged ally in the same way is really odd.
We did assist that ravaged ally after, with an emergency loan with a very low interest rate, and the UK was the largest beneficiary of the Marshall plan dollars.
France was #2.
I don’t know where this revisionist animosity is coming from, but it’s not reflected in reality.
