Yes I get it. The US lost the Vietnam war. The issue is that a "paper tiger" doesn't kill 1million+ people. Losing a war doesn't mean you are a paper tiger.
So paper tiger's kill 1million+ people and then someone else's capital city is renamed? Is the US the only "paper tiger" to ever exist? I figured the expression would be much older then the US.
The paper tiger is beginning to shred. Hopefully.
The US has a lot of criticism that can be leveled at it, but "paper tiger" certainly isn't one.
Literally the Vietnamese called the US a paper tiger and then kicked the US' ass.
If what the US did to Vietnam and Cambodia over 20+ years is a "paper tiger" then uh, I don't think a real tiger exists.
Do genocide and fail at winning wars against relatively small impoverished nations?
I guess if killing 1million+ Vietnamese is something a "paper tiger" does sure the US is a "paper tiger."
Yes. This isn't call of duty where the goal is to kill as many people as possible. The US got its ass kicked.

Is Hamas also a paper tiger? Russia? Israel?
