The Nord Stream incident is attributed to Ukrainian ultranationalists by the WSJ (https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-real-story-da24839c https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explos...) My personal pre-crime assessment is that a failed Ukraine would be devastating for the security of EU member states.

That's your attribution -- not the article's. Other than Zaluzhny (who does seem to be a bit of a loose canon; that's why Zelenskyy fired him after all) we have no information yet on who else was involved or their political affiliation as a group. The NS2 bombing was stupid, but it wasn't terrorism.

  “One of the most audacious acts of sabotage in modern history, the operation worsened an energy crisis in Europe—an assault on critical infrastructure that could be considered an act of war under international law.” Which other potential terrorists are they looking for?

    An act of sabotage is not, per se, "terrorism". Check your definitions, please.

      Yes, and Azov are / were only ultranationalists, not neo-Nazis; it's all very postmodern

        No it's called war, and there's nothing postmodern about it at all actually. It's really quite antimodern, in fact.
