    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?
