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.
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.
