It makes no sense for the US to have done this. The risk to reward ratio just doesn’t pencil out. Right now NATO is united behind Ukraine in a way it hasn’t been in decades. There is no need to burn the ships to keep other countries in line. Sabotage like this risks discovery, and discovery would break that unity. I am not saying it was Russia, but it doesn’t pass the sniff test of being the US.
