Sorry, but I am just unconvinced. Let's see whether the story is "revised" after a few weeks/months. There is also a massive propaganda war sponsored with billions of dollars by the U.S.

As a citizen of a non-NATO nation, I have lost all faith in the media of NATO nations, esp after the Nordstream sabotage was blamed on Russia with extraordinary outrage against Russia demonstrated everywhere in the media and esp here on HN. Even used as justification for new sanctions. The facts were then slowly transformed over time. No one bothered to discuss the incident later and investigations were all curtailed - hell, the Polish prime minister even said to stop the investigation and keep quiet about it.

Russia would simply have no logical reason to deliberately do this because it gives NATO all the casus belli to break the long standing, centuries-old naval treaties here regarding free ships. The overwhelming advantage goes to NATO nations - all the disadvantage goes to Russia for any sabotage carried out here.

Sure if it turns out that Russia is directly responsible through deliberate intent of sabotage, ban Russian shipping here by all means. But I am willing to bet that the "facts" regarding this incident will be revised over time. We have already seen this happen in the past.
