I see no logic in your statements.
High gas prices especially help those who can sell a lot.
Russia's ability to sell gas is hampered in the long run.
Norway and the USA are benefiting.

Russia is not benefiting at all and I find it hard to see a reason for Russia to blow up their pipelines. (but who knows, maybe Putin's mind is just different)
So if Russia is paying maintenance and upkeep on two pipelines that aren't actually making them a penny, they're an economic drag. Blowing them up and blaming the UK and then the USA was a bald attempt to drive a wedge into the western alliance while simulateously cutting operational losses.
