Putin is not a good guy either, so what follows is not to imply that, nor to contradict that he may very well be responsible for the most recent (and immediate future?) cable cutting.
That said, we can no longer dismiss the possibility that "our" side might do it, and blame Putin. Creating such a catastrophic economic event (and shifting blame elsewhere) would be most useful for any or all of:
1) delaying the U.S. midterm elections;
2) collapsing the U.S. and European economies so as to create the rubble pile upon which to "build back better"
3) render citizens all over the Western nations abjectly poor, so that by 2030 they'll own nothing
4) provide cover for the (inevitable) collapse of the (over-printed) fiat currency known as the "U.S. dollar"
