Whilst what you say is true (left and libertarian capitalists often have overlapping isolationist ideas on conflicts), Soros' position is distinct from that because whilst he may be socially somewhat left leaning and unimpressed with US Middle Eastern adventures, he favours the protection and spread of Western liberalism (and is above all else anti Russian nationalism expressed across international borders). So not only is he not necessarily aligned with the reflexively anti-war elements and definitely not an isolationist, but he's openly and ardently in favour of Western support for Ukraine in this conflict.
Of course, this is also exhibit A for "prominent commentators' views are often only incidentally aligned with their funders' interests and sometimes at loggerheads with them..."
