Russia is part of Eurasia. It is on both the Asian and European continents. Yeah, the Nordic are, so Europe spans further north and south, but regardless the US is still much larger.
You have to consider the further north on a Mercator map projection the less area the space on the map takes up in reality. The Nordic aren’t as large as they appear on a (Mercator) map. A large portion of the area of the US when overlayed on Europe and adjusted for map projection is over the Mediterranean and Atlantic.
The US is by far larger than Europe, no matter how you cut it, besides Europe being slightly larger north/south unless you include Alaska and/or Hawaii. Then it’s moot, and the US is even larger.

Europe is bigger than the US though
No. The US is easily from the furthest west of Europe to the furthest east of Turkey, plus some more. It has a lot less water too.

Since when are Nordics and Russia not part of Europe?

I mean, Europe is larger by about 350,000 km². So, “far larger, no matter how you cut it” seems a bit disingenuous here.
Something something American exceptionalism
I’m out
Europe is part of Eurasia. Thanks, cap.
Also Russia is part of Europe.
How long it would take to travel from Portugal to Ural?
Nice. Also checked Uralsk(European Kazahstan).
