The continuous US states are 8,080,460 square kilometres.
Europe is 10,186,000 square kilometres.
I am not sure if maths has reached north america yet, but saying that “Europe can fit in the continuous us states with room to spare” does not increase the percieved intelligence of the average american.
Europe is actually bigger than the entirety of the US, including alaska and overseas territories, but who cares about facts, right? If you can manufacture ridiculous reasons to feel better than others, who needs them?
Not far off.

In what world is that “not far off”?
Given that Australia (7,688,287 square km) became part of Europe in 2015, yes, pretty damned far off.
Yeah, if you exclude all the bits that don’t fit, everything else fit
Canada "Hold my beer, eh."
