Absolutely fucking not. Lithuania was a huge parasite for the Kingdom of Poland, drawing money from the crown budget, and then Lithuanian nationalism, unable to cope with the centuries-long process of gradual Polonization of the Vilnius region, was an even greater thorn.

This was the first and last time Poland represented a real military force in Europe.
In the following centuries, Europe preferred to start major conflicts with the division of Poland. This, if I may say so, was a peculiar tradition.

1. Only Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova and Russia there are proper Eastern European. Poland is Central Europe, the Baltic states are Northern European.
2. Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia for decades have been in EU and NATO. Ukraine is a candidate. Russia and Belarus are their adversaries. Could you elaborate on that ‘more cooperation’?
3. Commonwealth’s common history and heritage tend to be overstated. As a Lithuanian I do agree that Poland has been the largest factor throughout entirety of Lithuanian history, but it is not he only one.

For me, countries consisting of this Commonwealth is THE definition of Eastern Europe.
Especially Poland/Belarus/Ukraine, same geography (East European plain), same language, same interconnected history, same heritage.
The line between HRE and P-L commonwealth is the perfect dividing line.
