Doesn't matter if it's a follow up to Biden's threat or not.
It was probably a joint US-Polish operation.
The Poles wanted to stick it to Putin and ze Germans for historical and more recent inter-EU spats.
The US has obvious reasons, no need to elaborate here.
In case things go south the Poles will be exposed as rogue agents of NATO and take full blame.
If everything goes well, then I guess we'll be reading about it in about a decade from now. Maybe there will be a wikipedia page as well.
3/4 of the pipeline is taken offline.
NS2 still has an intact set of pipe and can operate-- if the West falls on its sword and allows NS2 to open.
