"The West has already lost its position as the hegemonic rulers of the world, and this is why the West is fighting so hard in Ukraine," he said during a recent edition of the "Health Ranger Report."
"Because once Ukraine falls – which is very, very close – it's a domino effect of loss of global fear of the U.S. and Western nations, NATO [the North Atlantic Treaty Organization] in particular."
America, backed by its nuclear weapons, could enforce its goals and political will on the rest of the world. But the fear of the West's military dominance that has kept other nations in line since the end of World War II is coming to an end.
Adams noted that after WWII, America became the industrial hub of the world with the U.S. manufacturing more goods than any other country. The secret to Washington's victory against the Nazis and the Japanese was its massive production of steel and the ability to produce tanks and planes. The U.S. continued to be the strongest producer in the world from the 1950s up to the early 1970s.
But from the late 1970s and continuing throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the U.S. abandoned its manufacturing base and began offshoring it to other countries, particularly China. This was fast-tracked by then-President Richard Nixon's recognition of China rather than Taiwan, which was done to increase trade with the Chinese.
The offshoring of manufacturing to China turned the U.S. into a consumer base that produced debt instead of goods. Even worse, Nixon also took the U.S. off the gold standard and put the country on the currency printing scheme.
Shifting America's priorities from making goods to printing currency, and then trading this currency for other nations' goods, changed the American citizen into a consumer. This, according to Adams, was part of the decline of the American man into a pathetic, metrosexual pansy. The attacks on the family and the aggressive push for transgenderism and the LGBT agenda worsened things.
"This is all by design so that the U.S. would be a consumer society. But in order to do that the U.S. had to generate debt, export debt and convince the rest of the world to accept the U.S. dollar debt," Adams said.
He continued that the dollar is a debt instrument used in exchange for goods, services and oil. Its use was enforced through economic and banking sanctions but mostly through military power as shown by U.S. actions against Libya and Iraq.
The whole system of allowing America to function as a consumer-based society depends on the U.S. military's ability to project a legitimate threat of force to other nations around the world. Thus, a loss in Ukraine would spell doom for the West as the U.S. will be seen as a paper tiger that just got toppled by Russia.

This would eventually lead to the collapse of America's economic system, which was based on exporting debt and enforced on other countries through its military power, basically by the U.S. Navy. According to Adams, the destruction of a Navy carrier will enable other nations to realize they are no longer afraid of America and join the BRICS group without fear of sanctions from the U.S. Empire.
