The odd thing is this story finally provides Russia with a motive for blowing up the pipelines, it doesn't make any sense for the US to bother as the EU sanctions had shut the pipes off completely, it would never make any sense compared to the risk, after all fixing the pipes if and when the war ends would be really simple, its a short section of pipe in really shallow waters, but at the same time the argument Putin did it to frighten the Germans wasn't particularly convincing either, but Russia doing it in order to blame the US, that actually makes sense.
