    The US has a lot of criticism that can be leveled at it, but “paper tiger” certainly isn’t one.

        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.

            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?

                    I’d say that the vietnamese soldier who made the claim and almost certainly was killed by the “paper tiger” was wrong.
