The new supply chain isn't yet ready to a sufficient level. The pain inflicted by missing gas could become high enough for some "moral flexibility".

Apparently some state actor did see a greater-zero-chance for resumed operations. Otherwise, why blow up the pipeline...

Or Putin calculated the near zero percent chance of restarting the pipeline and found it a worthwhile sacrifice in pursuit of a false flag to rally domestic support (of which he is sorely lacking).

False flags are Putin’s MO. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2012/11/22/finally-we-know-...
