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.
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.
Is Hamas also a paper tiger? Russia? Israel?
Quit coping, you're clearly in the wrong here.
I'd say that the vietnamese soldier who made the claim and almost certainly was killed by the "paper tiger" was wrong.
Jesus Christ, listen to yourself.
what's saigon called
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.
