EU has twice the population? Are you including Russia?

Do you not know how to do even the most cursory internet search?

> Population 746,419,440

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe

> Population 328,239,523

EU population is 446 million, so evidently "yes, you were including Russia".

What is wrong with you? My first comment says EUROPE, not EU:

and EUROPE population is 746 million, as I already said:

ok? Nothing I said was wrong. I never said "EU", and I never said "EU includes Russia", and I never said "Europe doesnt include Russia".

So what is your point? Just throwing out random facts? And even if you just talk about EU, its still embarassing. EU still has 35% higher population than the US, while the US has 4 times the daily cases.

EU = European Union

European Union ≠ Europe
