<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1921218, member: 12789&quot;]The Ukrainian crisis is going to &quot;settle down a bit&quot; into another frozen conflict like Georgia, Moldova/Transdnestr - but eventually the STHF will play out when all out shooting breaks out and pent up passions overtake the need to keep the peace.&nbsp; There are other frozen conflicts going on, China/Taiwan, Russia/the Baltic states, Central Asian countries like Tajikistan etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keeping this on topic, I know many people in UA do not trust money - it is actually easier to buy gold there than in the USA.&nbsp; I can buy it in the grocery store even, the bank and I even remember one petrol service station where you could change money and buy gold.&nbsp; When the UA hryvnia started it&#039;s precipitous plunge in value in 2008 people didn&#039;t keep more than grocery money for the day in local currency.&nbsp; The rest went into Euros, dollars, gold and even sometimes Russian rubles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
