“What does that have to do with Trumps foreign policy positions being generally non-interventionist and Bolton’s being interventionist?”

We are already there, and we are supported by and supporting the elected government in Afghanistan. What does THAT have to do with anyone being an “interventionist” or “non-interventionist”. NOTHING.

Trying to reverse history and dismiss all our prior losses as worthless and not honorable is not being a “non-interventionist” anymore than is staying there with a small force an act of being an “interventionist”. Is that what we were in western Germany, an “interventionist”??

Trump was ON RECORD as wanting to be a non-interventionist generally speaking. He got elected. THAT is precisely the point of my statement, and his PRIOR to election statements SHOW that.

Bolton was basically an INTERVENTIONIST.

Trump is NOT.

THAT is the point. Simple.
