When considering who might have done this, think about this quote: "A people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.” – Hannah Arendt, 1978 In three short sentences, this is a complete description of Russia's disinformation goals, and has been their MO in the war they've been waging on the West for over a decade. If you're wondering why they would blow Nord Stream up, it's to make everyone suspicious of everyone else, sowing distrust and making everyone unable to believe in the foundations of the alliance. They didn't do it to frame one country. They did it with the intention of it remaining unsolved. This is the same reason Russian trolls spread conspiracy theories in social media circles. It's the same reason they say one thing and do another. They want everyone confused and therefore weak. The only way to defeat this tactic to to make it known and to help the public learn to defend against it. This has got to be a priority in the West, but we're far more focused on the distraction of conventional war and not focused at all on the real danger in front of us.
