Russia owns the pipelines. The U.S. would be risking war with Russia by blowing them up.

You know the USA sends sophisticated military weapons and training to Ukraine including actual HIMARS used to blow up a Russian barrack and kill 400 Russians?

But you think the USA blowing up an inactive pipeline might be the thing that provokes a war and therefore the USA would never do it?

Russia doesn't have a Casus Belli. It's not Russia soil, and the pipeline isn't even owned by a Russian company.
