I also expect that the damage is relatively easily repaired. If Putin did do it, he didn't pay much to create discord and distrust among us.


How does someone get a ton of explosives down to 300 feet in the middle of a sea in a row boat in heavy currents, set up the explosives so that the blast will be directed and concentrated to rupture the reinforced pipe and blow up a steel and concrete pipelines in three areas
I don't think they literally mean that, but a commercial vessel with a crane on it wouldn't have any problem.
Add a sonar to watch the device and position it and you have all you need. You can see fish with a $100 consumer fish finder. I don't think the military would have any problem using gear they have available.
