with a crazy mofo like gerard fighting for europe, there is no question who would win, he's fucked up man, he'll wreck you all oOo:

[quote="Old Reliable":cdbad]WRONG! Russia is both asia and europe[/quote:cdbad]

Wrong again. Russia is part of Europe Geographically and Politically since the central government and 90% of the population is based in the western part of Russia technically making it part of Europe. Siberia is part of Asia.

[quote="Sgt Stryker":3c464][quote="Stinger_Dude":3c464][quote="Office Depot":3c464]well put ballisticwookie guy.

You guys are all twisting this thing around nobody makes allies or anything it is just United States vs. Europe IMO Europe ends just west of Russia and it does not include Russia so that means like US and Canada don't ally it's just straight up US and Europe.[/quote:3c464]

Russia is part of Europe.[/quote:3c464]

yeah, but they rarely if ever side with the other Europeans[/quote:3c464]

World war 2 ring a bell? oOo:

LOL thanks for the vote of confidence............i think......... eek:

- Russia not in Europe?

Russia is located in Europe and Asia. They are partner of the EU. Enough European for you?

- European nations balls (concerning Iraq)?

Definitely Poland, Spain, UK (yeah, let's start a debate if the UK is European or not).

- Russia rarely to side with other European nations?

Germany and France <-> Iraq? WWII? Or do they side often with the US, in cold wars and stuff? Hey.

- In the EU live around 320 million people, in Europe about 700 million (that's including the Russian part). Not billions. In Asia live billions of people.

- It took six pages of topic, but I always like being called 'Eurotrash', hehe.

- And why always this Old world <-> New world thing? It's stupid. We're allies.

don't tell me that russia is europe. if you go past Ural mountains it is asia, and that makes up for the majority of the country. It's true that Moscow is located on the european side and makes all the decisions, but the country remains of asian descent

But the culture is closer to European though,
alphabet is based off Greek,
main religion (before Communists) was Christian (Orthodox),
etc.

depends on your definition of european, as the orthodox church was located in the past ottoman empire. a large number of russians are of asian descent, but even less so after the breakup of CCCP. Russia is a unique country in that it is in two continents. some will argue it is more european, while others that it is more asian. travel past the Ural mountains and you will find it to be a mix of both...

Russia:

The larger part of the population lives in the European part of Russia.

Language is Slavic (Indo-European). Mainly.

82% of the population is Christian (Russian-Orthodox).

Also, the Russian race is Europide.

European enough for ya?

(I already knew about these facts, Geography classes, long time ago, but I looked them up to make sure)

He who thinks Russia isn't European is mistaken. Geographically, the larger part is on the continent of Asia, that's about the only valid argument.

It is both Asia and Europe. So it's Asian. And European.

As far as I am concerned, they are allowed to join in what probably would be the biggest conflict in the history of mankind. The biggest hypothetical conflict as well.

New vs Old
290 million vs 700 million
Haute Cuisine vs McDonalds... biggrin:

Russia doesn't count as Europe because I said so, and I am the one that made the topic! All countries west of Russia and that are in Europe count.

Well what you say is wrong, its part of europe as well so it counts.

well he set up the original scenario, so I guess he can modify it however he wants.

anyway this makes my job as naval analyst simpler.
without the firepower of the Kirov cruisers and Kursk subs (Kursk is not the class name though, I forgot the class name) and their "granit" SSMs it makes the naval supremacy game a whole new ballgame.

The orthodox was never lcoated in the ottomon empire. It was located in Trukey during the era of the Byzantine Empire but when the Turks captured Constaninople they turned the cathedral into a Mosque. The Orthodox then moved north towards Russia.

[Made this post last night and it seems to have mysteriously vanished - If I double post, blame the forum]

Russia is a part of Europe because the Eurovision Song Contest says so!

Now, there's another totally redundant conflict.

Incidentally, it's funny that, considering a lot of posters on this thread have condemned it for its redundancy, it has lasted for 7 pages and without any considerable flaming, either!

That's not bad going for aa.com, now is it?

Yeah....Turkey is also part of Europe. Damn that eurovision song from Turkey sucked ass(and they won, bahahha). Austrias song was just funny/pathetic.
