All these provocations and military action by Russia, NK and China seem pretty stupid unless its their goal to get the worlds most powerful and technological advanced nations really pissed off and armed to their teeth

I find it sad to see that a adult would lower themselves to force prayer on young people. Its even sadder that nobody (e.g. parents ) stood in their way. Most religious people are indeed sheep that seek shelter, comfort and safety in the flock.

wind-assisted would be a more honest description. According to the article this type of sail reduces fuel consumption by 5-8%. There are some fully wind powered designs under testing or in the design pase (e.g. Windbird by Wallenius Marine AB - https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/12/swedish-firm-wind-powered-cargo-ships)

I wonder if Fahrenheit 451 was among the books that were burned by those right wing fanatics down south

Some perfluorchemicals have extremely high oxygen solubility and have been proposed for liquid breathing. You dont think this has gone much beyond some animal experiments. In any case the conversion from air to liquid breathing would be absolutely brutal unless done under sedation ( both ways)
