    Russia usually gets excluded when referring to Europe, that’s just how it works.

    Russia has chosen to be an economic and political ‘outsider’ and so gets excluded.

      When referring to Europe by US media, I totally understand what kind of Europe this article refers to but my point is that geography means something different when talking about Europe and I think that is relevant since for example Hungary or Serbia are in the context of the title part of Europe but are also more and more political ‘outsiders’. I think this point similar to someone from Canada that America is not only the US.
