Hello!

I have the following request...

I'm writing an essay for my geopolitics class with my deadline being next Monday, but my brain can't figure out what the paper should contain. My essay should be academic in nature. However, I'm struggling to figure out what I should write down. As well as the phrases in my essay.

Here is something I worked on...

''A number of titles have predicted that the US dollar would collapse and China would take over as the world's leading economy since 1990. It's 2023, and the old logistics haven't shifted a bit. With Saudi Arabia as a member state, BRICS hopes to cut off the West's oil supply. But BRICS forget most of oil trading businesses are Western, and the technology for such trading operations is Western.

The Nordstream pipeline was built with the West's aid; without West tech, Russia's hopes of constructing the ''Asiastream pipeline'' to central Asia are next to none. Particularly since Taiwan is unlikely to sell them the microchips; they need to make the heavy machinery for the pipeline. In other words, Russia screwed the pooch.''

Keep in mind this is only a working title. It is not the whole essay I aim to present. Should the Academic papers be more extended than ordinary school ones?
