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.

Then POTUS himself publicly announced he'd blow up NS. After it was blown up, we suddenly don't know who did it ;(

I didn't know dementia is so contagious.

There are about half a dozen actors with an interest in doing it. It's like an Agatha Christie murder mystery. My favourite as a Brit was Ukraine with tech assistance from the British navy, as alleged by Moscow.
