"A lot of good has come out of that war.”

“Was it a good thing, was it a bad thing? It’s very hard to say.”

“It was worth it.”

Imagine if you heard or read any of this in a major US media outlet about the Russian war on Ukraine. You won’t. Yet these are all real phrases that have been uttered in just the past week — only about a different war, drawing a very different response.

Ever since Russian president Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine started last year, mainstream media and political figures who are determined to silence dissenting, often left-wing voices have spread a pernicious lie: that anyone critical of the Western response to the war or who tries to explain it by situating it in historical context is really “justifying” the war or engaged in “apologism.”
