I had no idea that anyone had mentioned the U.S. as a possible saboteur of the pipeline?? Putin, but then he blames everyone but himself for whatever misery befalls Russia He figures Navy SEALS placed explosive on them based from a US submarine. Who knows? Why would US want to cut off supplies of gas to Germany? Or he had Russian SEALS do it so he could blame it on someone else and punish Germany for being against him.....
