    Best course of action:

    split the Euro-zone into two: northern countries with Euro1 (same as now) and med/southern countries with Euro2 (1/5 of the value of Euro1 - locked exchange rate). Everyone will be happy, but it's obviously not gonna happen, because of "mah German exports, uber alles".

    But Slavic is a cultural and linguistic category as well
    And in case of Poland there are also historical ties with Belarus and Ukraine. Belarus (historical Litwa) was in union with Poland for hundreds of years.
    Poland could also get along with Russia. No need for hostility in our relations but apparently there are foreign powers who don't want good and friendly relations between Slavic nations.

    Yeah, I know Poland has ties with Belarus and Ukraine. Thing with Russia is that it's too big and deeply corrupted state, would try to control smaller Slav countries in such suposed Unions and they are orthodox.
    Ffs they don't even want to recognize Ukrainian national church lmao.

    I'm in for good relationship with Russia but not Unions, it's dangerous.

    Correct. We should start with good relationship. I am also against an immediate and forced union but there should be at least a try to create good relationship.

    I was always an Euroskeptic in my younger adulthood, but over the past years I realized that if looking to it objectively, we barely had any wars in Europe since the EU was founded and expanded. And the wars that did happen all were outside the EU. Thus in my opinion even if there are major cultural, economic and linguistic differences between European regions but also between states, there is still no better alternative to maintain peace and prosperity in Europe than a strongly united EU, rather than a divided one.

    I have a question for North and East euros: why divide it instead of kicking out all the med countries. Dividing it sounds like an indirect way to keep the south under your influence and at the same time isolate it from the north, which is unfair to say the least.

    No, I think that EU is stronger with its all members. Of course the process of economic cohesion should be accelerated.
