5. I'm genuinely confused about this. Is the price war a war between Russia and S.A. about market share or is it a war on U.S. frackers about the prices in general? I'd take some combination of the two as a reasonable answer.
I guess it's probably the latter: RF wants to kill US fracking industry.
Maybe even payback for US trying to derail Nord Stream 2, or sanctions, or just all the anti-Russia bullshit in general.
