You didn't address the point. Color me surprised.

Here was the claim:

There is no evidence that "the global left" is opposed to "any sort of
interference whatsoever—whether imperialist or otherwise,
under UN auspices or not, in or out of line with international law."

On the contrary: there is no "global left" opposition to speak of, as far
as I am aware, to the U.S.-Russia agreement, which is a form of
interference. The agreement demands that the government of Syria take
particular actions to liquidate its chemical weapons program, on pain of
international punishment for noncompliance.

Some people are mad because they couldn't get their bombing on. That's all.
