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?

[-] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I guess if killing 1million+ Vietnamese is something a "paper tiger" does sure the US is a "paper tiger."

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Yes. This isn't call of duty where the goal is to kill as many people as possible. The US got its ass kicked.

[-] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

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.
