YF,
if UK gives up the ghost, think the attitude to the US would be that Europe is a lost cause. why should the Americans bleed for European freedom when Europeans can't even do it themselves.
on the other hand, if there WAS a successful invasion of the UK, then Her Majesty's Government had contingency plans to flee to Canada and carry on the fight from there (they even scouted out and picked out the appropriate living spaces in Canada, lol). and certainly an invasion would have meant that the UK would fight on regardless of cost.
it'd be sorta like pearl harbor-- if it's a colonial squabble, fine, we lost, we'll get over it; you attack our mainland and the fight's on.
