🚨OPEN LETTER TO MY AMERICAN COUSINS.
I’ve stayed quiet so far but I have to say this, please share and spread the word.
Dear American Cousins,
I’ve been seeing a growing number of voices from your side online calling for America to partner with Russia and “fuck England off.”
I get that you’re angry, and you have every right to be.
But this is hitting us hard, and it feels deeply unfair.
After 9/11, when your country was attacked, British soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder with yours in Afghanistan and beyond.
Thousands of our lads never came home.
They died fighting the same fight, in the same uniform of friendship, because that’s what allies do.
We didn’t hesitate then, and we’ve spent decades proving that loyalty time and again.
To see that bond dismissed so casually now feels like a slap to every family that lost someone in those shared battles.
The person you should be directing your anger at is Keir Starmer, not the people of England.
Most of us here despise what he’s doing.
We didn’t vote for it, we don’t support it, and we’re as frustrated as you are.
He does not speak for the British people any more than one bad leader has ever spoken for all Americans.
Lumping the entire country together because of one politician’s decisions is exactly the kind of blanket judgement we’ve always tried to avoid with each other.
We’ve been through too much together, two world wars, the Cold War, the War on Terror, to throw it away over one man in Downing Street.
Say “fuck Starmer” all you want.
Hell, we’ll say it with you.
But please, don’t say “fuck England.”
Our soldiers bled with yours.
Our countries built something real over decades.
That history is bigger than any current Prime Minister.
We’re still your cousins.
Let’s remember that.
With respect and shared sorrow,
A British friend 🇺🇸🇬🇧
