"Nord Stream 2 pipeline apparently partially destroyed"

I assume that means there will be a fairly reliable supply of gas to whatever customers have been able to buy it from Russia.

I believe the only terminus was in Germany, so I don't think there were any other customers. The leak was detected off the Danish island of Bornholm.

There was some talk in Germany of draining the considerable amount of gas already loaded in the pipeline but not accepting more. That option is now gone.

Putin assumed that his massaging the SPD's anti-Americanism, spreading enough payola to German politicians and businesses while making Germany so dependent on Russian gas would mean that Germany would veto any substantial EU or NATO responses. Another strategic failure on his part.
