From day 1 it was always considered an act of war. Any asset can be a military target. At this time I think they are still finger pointing and playing the political blame games.

They blamed Russia, Putin said GFY, UN got pissed and booted Russia out of the Swift system, Germany shut down power plants, Europe bitched they were cold and needed oil from Russia, Putin said sure, gold, Ruble, or Bitcoin.

The question is who ordered the attack? Was it the Biden administration? I don't remember her name but she did openly threaten the destruction of the pipeline.
