Pressure leaks hit undersea Nord Stream pipelines

It's impossible to completely rule out some sort of US sponsored covert action, but that seems highly unlikely. The risks outweigh any possible rewards. If the operation went wrong and got exposed the political fallout would be catastrophic.

Right now the US is the only country really "winning" the war in Ukraine so there's no need to do anything so crazy.

No worse than the US blatantly overthrowing numerous democratically-elected governments. There was zero fallout for any of that.

The US has long considered itself immune to criticism when it comes to crimes against humanity, such as this.

Watching Americans fall over themselves to deny this fact is not fun, at all. It seems we are indeed destined for further fallout as a result ..

The US has done terrible things nonstop the past decades and it hasn’t suffered from any kind of political fallout.
