Billionaire investor Ray Dalio stated that the United States is declining and that military threats no longer work effectively in a fractured world order. The assessment comes from someone with deep visibility into global capital flows and geopolitical risk.
When elite investors start warning about decline, it's worth listening because they have money at stake on the outcome. Dalio's specific point—that military dominance doesn't translate to power in a multipolar world—is a diagnosis of why traditional tools of American leverage are failing. It doesn't mean the U.S. is weak in absolute terms, but that the correlation between military power and ability to shape global outcomes has weakened. This aligns with what we're seeing: Trump using military posturing without being able to definitively resolve conflicts, the inability to prevent Iranian action despite naval presence, etc.
