Because it's not ironic. It's obvious. Twitter is just a medium to post stuff. Threads is as well. I can post this on mastodon even. Also: Europe still can't join in on the fun.
Yeah, that's up for debate. It's not as clear as you make it out to be. As a (EU) European, Russia is not. The western most part of it maybe, yeah. Same for Turkey.
European Russia is 40% of the total European landmass. 15% of its total population. That's 110 million Russians in only the part that is inside Europe! Germany is at a low 80 million. Total population of EU is 445 million. Besides, numbers doesn't change because you are from the EU and disagree. I'm also in the EU.
