A better deterrence would be Russia's cables being cut too.

A better deterrence would be for Europe to actually stop buying fossil fuel from Russia (including indirectly via neutral countries) instead of goofing around with price caps or other marginally effective sanctions.
I don’t think we’ll want to be in a war of escalating service-denial with a country full of people used to not having indoor plumbing. Seems like we’d suffer more.
They're cutting their own cables. https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-tested-cutting-off-in...

As nvradov says, the sanctions need to get a lot harder, especially on German machine tools.
