It's extra confusing because, even before the sabotage, people had opposite opinions on the strategic significance of the pipelines. So the pipeline being damaged can be interpreted in opposite ways.

Did Russia have Germany begging for gas and ready to do anything to have them 'fix' the thing they were pretending was broken to make them suffer without their gas?

Was the West foolishly refusing to buy cheap energy that Russia was happy to supply?

Was the west taking the recent war and Russia mucking around with the gas supply as a signal to accelerate their renewable transition and end all relience on Russian gas?

Were the western voters angry, who were they angry at, what would they do as a result?

If you can't agree on the above you'll not agree about who benefits from this either.
