It seems very odd and again perfect timing for the administration to show up in Germany and complain about the planned pipeline to Russia.

And no, I am not a Russian troll nor do I have any connections to Russia. Check my comment history. I am just sceptical that one would do this and not just shot someone they wanted to get rid of them.

Is Putin really that stupid or was it someone else?

Put some thought into the word "reasonable." As in "beyond reasonable doubt."

The uncertainty you're trying to sow is in no way reasonable.

In other words, just apply occam's razor to the problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor
