What are your opinions on reuniting Moldova with Romania? I personally don't see why Moldova should't rejoin Romania since both share the same language, culture, people and heritage.
The supposed "Moldovan" ethnicity and language are a lie, they're a regional branch of the Romanians in my opinion.
As for Transdnestr I see it as a lost cause, it might as well be left to Ukraine, Transdnestran Russians and Ukrainians would probably except that and Moldova is wasting its time attempting to get it back.
What are your views on this topic?

Well I was hoping Romanians and Moldovans on this board might answer themselves, I already know the views of some Moldovans I know myself and they're for it but they appear to be in the minority.
But this doesn't exclude what other Europeans think about the two nations, people can state their views from other nations without forcing them onto the Moldovans or Romanians I'm sure.

I have a hard time seeing Moldova as any more credible as a country than Transdniestria.

But it has been a country for 20 years.

Obviously I am for such a union, but one must also consider the impact it would have on our economy. People are already discontent, just imagine how things would be after the union...
Excluding Russians, Ukrainians and russified Romanians, I'm fairly sure they are in favour of the union.
...Together with the Moldova region in Romania as part of Moldavia.

moldova, including the half which lies in today's romania, always had strong connections with the eastern slavic states (Киевская Русь, Галицко-Волынское княжество, later Царство Русское and Российская Империя...). slavs have been on moldovan ground for 1500 years. moldova's population largely consists of moldavianized and then romanianized slavs. genetically, moldavians are pretty much like their ukrainian neighbours. plus, the moldovan republic has a soviet heritage which even if it is perpetuated in the local romanian dialect, is still a soviet culture. indeed, most moldovans wish the unification with romania. i am not against it, but moldovans should keep their particular culture, and that is hard in a megacentralized and nationalist country as romania. and think of that - more than 1/4 of the moldavians' vocabulary in romania (western moldova) consists of slavic origin terms. the sad thing is that after the 1859 unification of moldova and wallachia, it was no collaboration between the two, moldova was clearly regarded as something added to the country and to be brought up to the southern "feeling", in matter of language (dialect) and customs. this is wrong about romanians, they don't understand that a country can and must have diversity, some times even great, without putting the national unity at stakes. romanians want everything centralized, bucharestized, equal and the same. i really hope they think like this only because of the communism and the nationalist propaganda and will pass over it in time. moldova is surely heading towards romania, but romanians better take care and watch us as equals, not as subordinated new territory ready to be "cleaned" of its local pride and local culture

The centralization model is a holdover from our love-affair with all things French and we tried to copy their heavily centralized system. I agree this is not workable nowdays and if a union ever took place, Romanians would have to not treat Moldova as a backwater province and develop it while giving Chisinau the proper respect and importance it deserves as the second most important city in the new Romania. It would be, by far, the second-biggest city in the newly-united nation.
Traiasca Romania mare!

If they want to join, im for it. If they dont want to reunite, then im against it.
Having strong ties with a country isnt a real reason enough to want to be united, though. Unless things were going really bad and they needed support.
