You’re right, that’s a wild comment trying to exclude Scandinavia from Europe.
Why wouldn’t I want to include Scandinavia. It’s part of mainland Europe, reachable by train from Portugal without ever crossing an EU external border. As opposed to Alaska which is not part of the mainland US. I didn’t include Alaska for the same reason I didn’t include Hawaii, Greenland or the French Southern and Antarctic Lands.
Btw. Stockholm alone has more inhabitants than all of Alaska.
You want to include Scandinavia, well if I include Alaska it’s ~5k miles from Miami to Anchorage. Point still stands its a wild comment to make.
