So, who sabotaged the Nordstream pipeline?

I think the Kremlin doth protest too little....

Something ain't right. Unless they are planning on using the propaganda later, they sure don't seem to care about their pipeline very much...

Maybe russia crying out in pain isn't going to be beneficial. It would only rally his opposition. Its not going to garner him any additional support. When things are already stacking up against him. He has already stated who he thinks did it. Crying out loudly will only serve as a predator call. His plate consists of keeping his gains of Ukraine territory.

Please. It totally fits into the narrative that the West is out to get him and destroy Mother Russia. I agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense for them to do it, but it sure doesn't make a lot of sense for them to be this quiet. Sure, threaten to use nuclear weapons, but don't talk about the destruction of the crown jewel in their energy portfolio.

He has already stated he believes the West and its allies have done it. What else can he do?

Slide of hand my friend.

Sleight of hand.

The joke I read somewhere is if Russia cries too loudly it would be the equivalent of OJ Simpson asking for a full length mirror to search for his wife’s killer.

[gsd2053]

Sleight of hand.

Yeah, that one!

TLDwR;

It was a rag-tag Ukranian operation. Really surprised that they would let anyone go down and see the damage. In an Occam's Razor sense, it seems most likely....
