Buck passing, or passing the buck, or sometimes (playing) the blame game, is the act of attributing to another person or group one's own responsibility. It is often used to refer to a strategy in power politics whereby a state tries to get another state to deter or fight an aggressor state while it remains on the sidelines. [1]

Wharfie,
Well, how about getting out by April 1, per the Trump surrender agreement? You'd be crying about the 120K Americans and friends who were left behind.
Presumably we would have gotten all of those Americans out before April 1st (or May 1st, or whenever).

Or if the postponement was because of that, then we should have stuck to the new date even after the goat fukkers rose up and overran Afghani positions.

Instead, Brandon then pulled in the date to end of August and accelerated the withdrawal, thereby showing that the Taliban was in charge and dictating the pace of what ended up becoming a hasty retreat.

trump started the fucked up withdrawal and with the Afghan military running away like little girls made a total mess of it. Just like Vietnam, once US support was gone the SVA folded like a cheap tent. both wars fucked up, at least they got Bin Laden. The whole middle east is screwed up.
