"In the US, 100 years is a long time, but in Europe, 100 miles is a long way"
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.

Europe: 10.530.000 sq km USA: 9.834.000 sq km
This thread shows the american education system in full force lmao
Area is irrelevant though since the original comment was about distance. Kinda sad to insist on the correct unit if you're the only one using the wrong one.
Not sure where you're getting 10.53, wiki says 10.18m Sq km (and includes Iceland? Politically European, but I think it's between continental plates).
Anyway, yeah, I guess Europe is slightly larger in area. I don't know why we're comparing a continent to a country though. It's not like anyone is traveling to the border of Siberia from the EU. People travel between the EU like they do between states in the US, but outside of that requires additional steps. Idk, I didn't start the conversation.
How long it would take to travel from Portugal to Ural?
Nice. Also checked Uralsk(European Kazahstan).
Areas are being measured in square km. Not in time travelled in one direction.
Coreect. France approves.
