please look things up to confirm before you comment.

this is not true. Russia is not included in this stat. Russia is way bigger than America on its own.

why does everyone on this website have wild misconceptions about the size of America and Europe. it goes both ways, I've had to fight Europeans that thought America was "nearly as big as eastern Europe" on here before too. why are so many people so confidently incorrect about such an easily confirmed fact???

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe#:~:text=Europe%20covers%20about%2010.18%20million,largest%20after%20Asia%20and%20Africa.

Europe land mass absolutely includes a large chunk of russia. The land mass of the EU does not and is much smaller than the USA. When you include russias chunk it's roughly the same size of the USA.
