Now U.S. imperialism is quite powerful, but in reality it isn’t. It is very weak politically because it is divorced from the masses of the people and is disliked by everybody and by the American people too. In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of, it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe the United States is nothing but a paper tiger.
Yeah, then libs and fascists started using it every other sentence when talking about China. I like the idea of an eagle that can’t fly. Just like half the jets the US makes now.
They like to call China a Paper Tiger but I surmise we start calling the US a lead eagle.
