In a way, it's sort of astonishing how much damage Putin has done to his legacy in Russia with this foolish invasion. One of the most impressive feats of pipeline engineering in the world and his inability to cooperate with other nations has catalyzed its destruction. In some poetic fashion, it makes sense. A pipeline like this is symbolic of interstate cooperation. Not surprising it would not survive the breakdown of such cooperation that he instigated. When a state engages in medieval-style aggression, it can't have nice things.
