The wind in its greatest fury lol
Quoting: Fancypantz [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Mao Zedong first introduced his idea of paper tigers to Americans in an August 1946 interview with American Journalist Anna Louise Strong:[3]
The atom bomb is a paper tiger which the U.S. reactionaries use to scare people. It looks terrible, but in fact it isn't. Of course, the atom bomb is a weapon of mass slaughter, but the outcome of a war is decided by the people, not by one or two new types of weapon.
All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality they are not so powerful.[4]
In a 1956 interview with Strong, Mao used the phrase "paper tiger" to describe American imperialism again:
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 that it is nothing but a paper tiger.[5]Lol This post was spot on. They have a saying in the South that the bark is always worse than the bite.. I really resonated with the part about men decide the outcome of wars not weapons that is so true... Some people in power right now should take note of that. Lol and the internet was born lol
