There is one thing that is really bothering me in this story.

I don't really care who is behind the sabotage, they would certainly not admit it for obvious reasons, and it could be more complex than it seems.

But the press, here in the UK, in France and in the US, has been suspiciously "clueless", avoiding with great care to imply that anyone in the west could be behind it, even if it really seems obvious that it could very well be the case.

Why? Why are they so careful? They usually are not afraid to speculate, especially on such a scale.

I find it disturbing to think that they could either have received instructions from their respective governments or are simply afraid push any inquiries on this subject.

Can you please elaborate how exactly it was obvious (that anyone in the West could be behind the attack)? What is a motivation for the West?

Germany was hesitant/not fully committed on Ukraine support because of ongoing discussions with Russia about NordStream.

USA has been pissed off by this project from the start.

This is also a way to send a strong message to Putin.

Anonymous message is never strong. Non-anonymous message is a casus belli.

Well, this is not really anonymous.

I am pretty sure that all secret services and governments around the world are perfectly aware of the situation.

Only the press is playing the hypocrisy game, for some reason.

Like in case of aliens in Hangar 18? Don't be ridiculous. Any US news outlet will give arm and leg to break the story like this. Self-publishing on mail list platform means there are so little evidence here, that not a single tabloid was interested.

Why? For the sake of the discussion let's say that this story is pure fabulation.

Alright, the internet is full of it, and many newspaper are not afraid of publishing clickbait bullshit, as long as it sells.

What's the risk? Since when is fake news illegal?

This is why I am surprised, why is it such a big deal?
