It's so easy to spin a just so story around incentives to think anyone is responsible. US did it because their gas industry want to sell to Europe, and also Biden was clipped saying he can stop NS2. Russia did it because the repair costs are low and hence the distrust propaganda value is worth that cost, and because EU is going to stop buying their gas anyway so may as well capitalize on the sunk cost. Forgetting incentives for a minute and instead looking at recent patterns of behavior and reckless disregard for both others as well as self-preservation, my default assumption is that Russia did it. This is the best lens to use when the incentive picture is murky, because it clearly is murky here.
