The UK was already aligned with US ideology.

  So was Russia, actually. Yeltsin went all-in on "shock therapy" and rapid privatization of the economy. If anything, Yeltsin was too aligned with US capitalist ideology.

    Capitalism isn't the entirety of US ideology, and I would hardly say Russia was aligned given how vastly different their outcomes were compared to other eastern European nations.

    I think the point is that the UK only needed rebuilding, not fundamentally restructuring.
