Yes. The events leading up to the seizer of eastern Ukraine in 2014. In particular, Russia's use of Wagner mercenaries, 'little green men', regular troops, nationalist groups sent in from Russia, special forces, 'local' militias, Igor Girkin, MH17, and continued kremlin denials of involvement. That is a part of the war that incredibly gets very little focus.

One huge difference is that the US has said that it will defend Taiwan. It won't be sanctions. Whatever the truth of that, China has to consider the possibility of direct conflict with the US.

Yes.

Ukraine and Taiwan are fundamentally different situations. EU+UK reacted dramatically over war in Ukraine because of the potential of a "Hot War" on their doorsteps. Taiwan ... is not close geographically to any Western countries. One thing Xi learned from Ukraine is that Western Sanctions don't really work economically from domestic availability point of view (international banking and transfers yes, but resources no). Western allies have resisted any troop involvement in Ukraine, and it is extremely unlikely they would get involved in Taiwan. Taiwan is also about 1/20 size of Ukraine (actually only about 25% larger than Crimea). Xi knows he is playing with almost a full hand when it comes to Taiwan.

Rather too many unstated assumptions here. First, the USA recognises that Taiwan is part of China yet all the talk is of Chinese aggression and essentially yellow peril rhetoric. As for Russia’s useful idiots, the problem here is that these people (Mearsheiner etc) predicted the Russian aggression back in 2008- which Georgia soon discovered. NATO allowed itself to become an evangelical force pushing liberal democracy rather than sticking to defending its members. Putin has of course overreacted but even an overreaction requires a provocation yet there is no acknowledgement of this in the video.

That there is a slight inkling the guy might have some wee bit bias seeping into his "arguments". Looking at it a bit more neutral, the first sentence has the word "only" too much in it. While NATO expansion certainly was a red line for Russia - one we've been ignoring for years, it's certainly not the only reason. But, hey, more nuance might have tempered the narrative he was trying to spin.... The latter is actually something the West came up with themselves. No Russian official actually said that. At most, they said they had a common history and many there were culturally or ethnically Russians - which is true, certainly in the Eastern and southern parts (not so much in the Western part of Ukraine). Again, that sort of more nuanced and objective reflection of reality might come into his way of his narrative, and thus he prefers to keep it black-and-white, as anyone trying to influence people with propaganda will do. Russia does it too, for sure, but it's always funny to see how we, the West, condemn their propaganda, but do not bat an eye when we're doing it. We're almost literally blind to our own biases.
