Literally one country in this conflict is going around and shooting at people or things they aren't supposed to, has blackmailed the EU with an energy war, and escalates things on a daily basis. Look at Petrov'/Russia's goofy reaction in all this. Plain as day who is responsible. Yet the US or Poland is to blame?

Yeah ####ing LOL. Russia is shooting all alone, no one else is fighting back.
All the sabotage that's been happening inside Russia (factories, raillines etc.) was also all Putin? Despite his attempts to also keep quiet about any of it happening?
'Cause here's the thing: Nordstreams are Russian infrastructure. They wanted it, they largely built it, they mostly own it.
If Russia wants to sabotage a gaspipe, why not pick the Baltic Pipe, the one between Norway and Poland that was just finished? Or pick literally anything else than one of your own very expensive projects.
If you can achieve all the same goals by destroying your stuff or someone else's stuff, it's odd to deliberately destroy your own stuff just to make some obscure point.
A point which is so obscure that no one is even sure what point was made by this sabotage, exactly. You'd think if Putin was trying to send a message, it would be rather more straightforward.
Putin might be crazy (although I think that's not really true, just a terrible human being), but he's never shown to be prone to random acts of violence or obscure messaging. Putin isn't just randomly blowing up stuff, not even in Ukraine really.
