not supplying gas to the EU is not a reason for Nato to go to war with Russia. I mean the EU is heavily sanctioning Russia, so why do they even want the gas. these sanctions and tit for tat is a serious a case of stepping on one's own foot.
it makes no logical sense for russia to do this. i cant fathom it.
The argument isn't that Putin did it to make sure once and for all that he cannot send any more gas to Europe via
his Nord Stream pipelines, the argument was that this was a threat by him, hinting that he has the capability to attack
our critical energy infrastructure, like for example the pipelines connecting Norwegian gas fields with Germany or Poland.
Russia being caught attacking our infrastructure would of course be grounds for NATO to declare war. Instead blowing up his own investment ruins, which were quite literally dead in the water, was a way for him to get this point across without taking any risks.
