Well said. I'm pleased that someone would counter the usual "Russia did it" narrative, although I note your inevitable downvotes. I read HN for the informed tech commentary, and I had always assumed that people who are…

I guess it's probably the latter: RF wants to kill US fracking industry. Maybe even payback for US trying to derail Nord Stream 2, or sanctions, or just all the anti-Russia bullshit in general.
