Pete Hegseth, the American Secretary of War, announced today that the attack on the UK would probably continue for a matter of weeks. When asked why the danger from the British was imminent, he explained that America was only finishing the war, not starting it; after all, the British had resisted our independence efforts in the 18th century, and had burned the White House in 1814.
Hegseth also indicated that the war was necessary to keep the UK from building a nuclear weapon. When he was advised by a reporter that the UK had possessed nukes for about 70 years, the Secretary of War accused the media of dealing in fake news and then stormed out of the briefing room.
