I answered that question at length in my comment. Did you read it?
Read and refuted!
America did not "fear" anything. Russia already had lost all its leverage.
No one cares about a corrupt puppet shithole non-country. That's the honest truth. The only reason Germany pretends to care, is because Germany is not a sovereign country. Left to its own devices, there would be a rapprochement between Russia and Germany, because it's in both these countries's interests.
If your theory were true, the US would have blown up the pipeline in early summer or sooner to force Germany's hand and take begging to Russia off the table.
Yes, right before winter.
Unfortunately, you are one of those people who think "my country, right or wrong" - even when your country is ruled by some of the most despicable, criminal people on the planet.
False. German stockpiles were sufficient to get through the winter even if it was worse than usual. Source
That was always wishful thinking on your part. And even when it became clear the winter was much warmer than normal, there were alarm bells about the gas supplies not lasting.
Instead we are at 76.26%, far higher than even the "high conservation, no export" scenarios. In other words, all the mild winter did was take an already-solved problem and render it overkill.

This makes little sense. How exactly did you establish the supposedly small contribution of a record warm winter?

Funny thing about shutting a pipeline off (using the stick) is that the option to open it back up turns it into a carrot.
