The only thing Karaganov nailed is that the West is degenerate and feminised. He is also right about the extreme consumerism.
But the rest is utter rubbish. Russia doesn't offer any reasonable alternative, it is failing in ideology, economy, culture, religion, environmental protection, science, demography. It is a degenerate soulless country unsuccessfully trying to copy the West. Consumerism is rampant in China and also in Russian circles that can afford it.
Karaganov knows that Russia only has a hammer (nuclear weapons) and sees every problem as a nail.
His geopolitical premise is false and doesn't take in account response from other countries. Does he think that if Russia attacked Poland, other countries would just watch? China, India and other supposed allies? These countries work with Russia because it represents alternative to the Western / US hegemony but not because they want to be part of the Russian world. China certainly has imperial ambitions on its own, so does Japan, Turkey and other nations.
