LETTER: What does the U.S. stand for now? Published 3:00 pm Wednesday, July 15, 2026 Dear Editor, Has the United States become a rogue nation?

It has become a question of instability, lies, and profound erratic behaviour taking place within the government and its leader. One just doesn’t know if there will be any rational reasoning going to take place from one day to the next, and it destabilizes not just the United States but the world questions its future because of it. What exactly does the United States of America stand for now?

Threats directed to democratic, peaceful countries and their sovereignty. There is no such thing as global warming. Green energy is not a necessity in this changing world, and the science of global warming is fake.

Any and all thinking people who believe in medical science/vaccinations should stop believing in it to protect themselves. War is one man’s choice over Congress, and the rights of individuals are quite irrelevant by interpretation and presidential decree. Global and domestic news is fake news if it’s against President Trump and the agenda he wishes to pursue.

Diplomacy is belittling foreign leaders and using the same trash treatment against individuals who don’t support his policies or agenda. Inequality as poverty lives well in the United States. Debt is not just a figure of speech; it is a growing reality for Americans, and the debt crisis of the United States itself is touching the stars.

Is the United States pursuing a global war? A third world war? Independence Day 2026, the “Golden Age of America,” and here the world sits in remembrance of a dictator who gave his country the “Thousand-Year Reich”.

How did that turn out... United States, the land of the free, has become just another word with another meaning and what the President has stated concerning Iran, “total obliteration” that would leave “nothing remaining” and we’ll “wipe them off the face of this Earth”. Russia and North Korea are left to be friends with America.

The United States doesn’t have friends anymore, just countries that surround them in a world who may do business with them, who anticipate the time and downfall of another dictator in the coming world’s history and hope it will be sooner than later as elections draw near. The United States has become a ballot box of hope. Cran Campbell, Langley City
