Wasn't it the point of Nord Stream sabotage? https://brian-whit.medium.com/nord-stream-sabotage-a-look-at...

No. This was alleged to be taken out by Ukrainian special forces in order to twist Europe's arm, which is a good thing in the end, but so far as anyone knows it had nothing to to with the US. Until I hear anything proving otherwise I will take what we know as all we know for now.

The US were not thrilled about it when it was being constructed, obviously, but this was normal tensions towards Russia, prescient in the end but here we are.

Are we sure that Ukrainian special forces have the capability to blow up nord stream without heavy US help?

physically it wasn't that hard - ship, explosives, scuba divers

it's the clusterfuck of EU police inactivity afterwards that needs to be paid more attention to
