Why would Putin blow up the pipeline supplying Russian gas to Europe? Couldn't he just stop it at the source?
The only one who would benefit from this would be someone currently not supplying Europe who wants to in the future. Or someone who wants Europe to freeze this winter...
it could even have been non-state actors who think they'll benefit from whatever chaos happens. ffs, a couple STEM-savvy, watch-the-world-burn a-holes with a few hundred thousand dollars and an "accelerate" attitude could've done it. frustrating af listening to everyone i know repeating MSM anti-russia narrative.
If Russia desperately needs their own gas but doesn't want to be seen as willfully cutting off Germany.
"Thanks for your payment. Unfortunately there's a delay, supply chain issues. We'll hook you up with extra when we get it all fixed. Thanks for your patience."

Bingo. Great post. Your first question is similar to my initial thought.

1 of many huge holes in that theory - all that gas is bubbling into the sea right now
Yep. I tried to give the idea the benefit of the doubt but you're right.
If it were indispensable then they wouldn't dispense it.
imagine being that retarded to think they would throw away millions of euros of investment... just to not be seen like bad guys...
everybody knows it was either the US or England. no other choice.
Saying a turbine is broken would be a lot easier.
