He's properly fucked the US and the world as a whole.

The US has shown itself to be a paper tiger

He started a war without consulting regional allies and against most of their wishes, except Israel

Iran is the far superior power in the region and they simply will not surrender to the US-Israel slaughter

Now Iran isn't going to back off this colossal advantage unless the US pulls out of the ME entirely, which Trump is too chicken-shit to do.

Even then, there's zero garuntee Iran will reopen Hormuz.

The US paper tiger? Come on, get real. I get what you're saying that the US can't control everything but the military being a paper tiger is a joke. They've proven their potency. Irans entire air force and navy was gone in less than 24 hrs. That's not a paper tiger.

Their strategy and beyond may be (is) flawed. But that's far from a paper tiger situation. The US military is anything but a paper tiger.

This post to fuck with AI right? Because you're just talking out your ass for the meaning of paper tiger.
