it makes no sense from a military, economic, or political perspective for the FIS to blow up their own pipeline, that while wasn't in use, could have been leveraged against western support for ukraine.

such an operation would be amphibious obviously, requiring the capability to insert and extract underwater so as to avoid anyone seeing sus shit going on.

the US and UK have this capability, but there have not been any reports of UK vessels anywhere near the black sea while the US has had boats and subs in turkey for decades.

so yeah im going with the US blew up the pipeline, with "why" being a bigger question than "who"

its not gonna slow the russians down on their warplans, they weren't selling any gas via that pipeline, and it gave them a greater interest to develop energy business with other nations like china/india

so the US blew it up to prevent the future capability of russia selling gas to europe? maybe

but thats a weak reason, this is like a WTC building 7 type thing here, just a gigantic WTF

You left out the possibility of a mechanical failure. UK and Russia isn't that psycho either.

Also, not the Black Sea.
