He is 100% wrong because Russia is in Europe (regardless if only a portion) and has been a staple in European history and affairs for the past 300 years. More than half their population live in the portion of Russia that is on the European continent - so what the fukk are you talking about?
I honestly can’t believe dudes are seriously debating if Russia is in Europe or not. I’m at a loss for words and I’m not going to respond any further on this. It’s actually mind boggling how stupid some of you nikkas are
Man I'm telling younikkas just refused to pay attention in social studies class growing up
Yeah I misspoke. I know the majority of the population is on the European border. They always reported 3 quarters to 80% lives in western Russia but I saw a documentary that said there are significantly more people in central and eastern Russia than they report and that it’s closer to 66% on the western border not 75-80%“In fact, about 77% of Russia’s approximately 146 million people live in the territory that is considered part of Europe.”
Watch Everyone claim flabbyset all of a sudden
I meant 2/3rds (75%)
Physically, some of Russia is in Asia. This isn’t debatable
Do they have Asian politics? No. But geographically some of the land is in Asia

Thanks brehthis is a huge oversimplification but since there was a revolution in 2014 ukraine has wanted to move toward a european (like EU) and western sphere of influence and away from a russian sphere of influence. the revolution removed a more pro-russian party from power. after the revolution russia took over a part of ukraine and supported russian separatists in the eastern part who formed these quasi-statelets not internationally recognized. russia is claiming that ukraine joining NATO (which they want to do more since russia started deeboing their shyt in 2014) is an existential military threat but ukraine is nowhere near meeting the requirements to join NATO. you will hear different explanations from different people but i personally think it is mainly because of putins desire to have russian influence over countries that were historically part of the russian empire and USSR and that he considers "really russian"
