The biggest gain is for Russia, remember the long "repair" of NS1? Blocking the filling of gas reserves in Western Europe? Repair here, sabotage there and bam Germany has less gas for winter.

Russia can just close the valve.

Germany has an option to talk with russia to make a deal, so russia reopens the valve... some other forces don't want that.

Russia can close valve pretending they didn't close it but at the same time sending a warning.

It is a 101 of economical warfare.

What warning? They literally said they'll close the valve.

With the closed valve, they have an upper hand at negotiations about gas, especially if the german people get cold and start sharpening the pitchforks for their own (german) politicians... now, even if the germans want to negotiate, there will be no gas until the pipelines are fixed, and it doesn't seem that will happen soon

It is Russia, they have their ways.

Nobody believes in their 'repairs' and temporary issues with the pipeline. I really hope it is destroyed.

If they wanted they could reuse the old pipeline that is on land on Polish territory.

BTW. It is not only my suspicion: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/28/nord-stream-pipelin...
