This is something that has been bothering me from the start of the so called SMO. Europe relied on gas flowing through Ukraine pipelines. Couldn't Russia just have stopped the flow, and forgone the war?

I mean, if cutting Ukraine off of Russian petroleum and natural gas was enough to stop the war, they wouldn't have blown up the Nordstream pipeline

yeah the US wants the war, and blew up the pipeline so i don't think turning off the tap would've done it.
