Pretty much,

on that day the general opinion in Germany about Russian energy went from "It's difficult" to "It's over"

Yeah, same with how they push for full surveillance every year only to get shot down, they'd have pushed for russian pipes still.

Not entirely true. There were always calls from small public groups and politicians in the opposition to get Nordstream 2 running.

THAT however ended with the burst of the pipes.

Is there evidence that Russia was responsible for the pipeline sabotage?

Apologies for the sincere question.

The fact that Russia wasn't threatening nuclear war on the one responsible.

In world politics, courts and investigations matter little. Russia is going to blame whoever they want, and the rest of the world is not going to care.

Something like that can't really be resolved in court anyway, so educated speculation is the best we're going to get.

Unless whoever did it screwed up and left some damning evidence behind.

They are investigating the act though, I feel like it’s not unrealistic with satellite surveillance to have a chance of documenting which ships were near the explosions.
