I mean to say that they are very close to crossing red lines that, if crossed, will irrevocably push them over the brink into some type of war that damages these two countries and causes damage to the world order in severe and irrevocable ways \u2014 like Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine did for Russia and the world, just much bigger.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dalio founded the world\u2019s largest hedge fund firm, which manages $124 billion, according to Forbes.
