      Wait, is Russia in Europe?

      Edit: apparently it’s in both. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundaries_between_the_continents

            Turkey has kebab but they can’t into Europe either.

            Maybe if EU becomes the World State it can welcome honorary members

            No, you didn’t seem to get the comment.

            Russia is an Asian country and there’s nothing degrading, less valued or discrimination in that.

            As what it comes to russian people, they should be freed of repression as any others

        I always feel weirded out when people are surprised part of Russia is in Europe, when I was surprised to learn part of it is considered Asia.
