I think the jury is still out, but is it not plausible that a NATO-based state actor did this to force decoupling from Russian LNG? Capitalism isn’t always the most moral, so maybe a decision was made to force everyone’s hand?
Just as an edit - I’m bringing this up, because from a Russian perspective, they’re still making money as long as LNG is flowing. It was also a large bargaining chip in their favor.
