> The most probably explanation I can come up with, is NATO and/or allies doing the attacks themselves in order to justify an invasion of Russia to "stop the attacks on foreign soil", but that's borderline conspiracy theory, so not even sure I want to go there.
I know you're not trying to go there, but even this hypothetical doesn't make any sense. The attacks are on Russian-owned pipelines in international waters, there's nothing for NATO to defend. Furthermore, if NATO wanted to do a false flag, it would make more sense to blow up Chernobyl, since Russia has previously threatened it and NATO has historically emphasized that attacks that spread nuclear fallout over NATO countries are grounds for article 5.
To be clear, I don't see a clear benefit for any of the major players here; even the suggestions that it's Putin strike me as wishful thinking. Something strange is going on.
