So part of it is, Russia's ownership of the pipelines is largely a legally allowed legal fiction? Is that right?

At one quick read, it seems that what part of NS2 that Russia owns....That it owns via loans it has taken out from German and European banks. Like a mortgage on a house.
No way are the Russskies still making these payments. So Russia did not blow up anything physical (NS2) that they partly owned outright. Instead, They blew up the billions that Russia owed European banks.
******* Must read Pat Fury’s long post again

I did not present this well, and apologize.
You could easily take this Open Source info, and make it easier and more concise for the broader readers to follow.
Even your question proves this to me.
It looks like a clustered schematic, but it isn’t really.
The answer is yes, and yes!
At the end of the day, it is more than plausible strategic planning, the Russians just blew up/ended/cut off their fractional portion of financed loans, while under sanctions, and kicked the real NordStream loan owner/underwriters in the teeth.
What I am about to describe, you can make more simple as well.
âš” Even better, Russia had already long been profitable on NS-1, so no financial loss to Russia there.
The explosions were planned and scheduled.
What is not known, is how long in advance.
Possibly 3 to 4 months (or more) in advance, which would be more than enough time to accumulate “short positions” (with solid market exit strategy), essentially scheduling a timed “Short Squeeze” in Natural Gas, and the energy markets, which did in fact cause a roughly 20% spike, which is absolutely huge profit!
Potentially worth significantly more in cash than the entire NS system costed in total.
All while simultaneously kicking the real EU underwriters in the face.
Hope they are not hard to follow, but there were several true beneficial angles for Russia, followed by a relatively easy nexus (easy dots).
I put that out from my small android with a shattered screen, so probably need an English translator to cipher and fix all the mistakes as well.
Additionally, there is more known already, but because of experience, it is necessary to wait for more declassed Open Source publishing.
For most, due to pride alone, it is very hard for to be wrong. Even worse when a publically wrong opinion or statement is religiously held, which anchors a larger agenda.
For a few however, they are wolves, deliberately misleading the “band wagon” with a destructive and controlling goal.
