WSJ editorial page:

“Nixon once said “if, when the chips are down, the world’s most powerful nation, the United States of America, acts like a pitiful, helpless giant, the forces of totalitarianism and anarchy will threaten free nations and free institutions through out the world.”

“a nation that hesitates to rescue its people for fear of the Taliban is behaving like a pitiful, helpless giant.”
