Paper Bear
An Old Bully. A Blowhard. Kind of like a "Paper Tiger" but who has held the position for a lot longer. Kinda like in the movie Friday where Craig beats Deebo's ass but with his fists and not a gun. A person or state who everyone has been afraid of for years and years and finally gets their ass totally handed to them. In a word; Russia!
Man, how about this whole Russian invasion of Ukraine? Russia is a getting a total smack-down, Bro! Looks like Russia is really just a Paper Bear!
