"excluding Russia"
includes Russia
I'm confused.
Or was there a text saying something like "all can fit in together, except Russia?"
Update. Didn't see the asterisk near the word Europe, was confused.
It is obviously talking about "the continent Europe, excluding Russia". What is there to be confused about?
Ahhh, I didn't notice the other asterisk near "Europe".
Honestly I missed the asterisk too, but I assumed instead something was cut from the screenshot.
The star is meant to point you at the compariosn to Europe which in this case does not include the european part of Russia.
Ah, struggled to find the asterisk near Europe word.
Thank you!
It's basically to make it clear and avoid confusion which can arise, e.g. by including only the European part of russia, as the Europe-Asia border is not uniquely defined.
Thanks! Didn't see the asterisk there
