I cannot seem to find a list Bia the Google machine.

1. Russia is in Asia

2. Western Russia is in Europe

3. Schengen Area is not Europe. Any headline or post which says European travel is banned

is misinforming the reader.

And no, Russia is not part of the Schengen Area.

4. Oh, sorry is RESTRICTED a better description for what tRump tried to say???

And you say whatever the description of it Russia, that country is NOT PART OF IT.

How (not) surprising!!!

5. Yes. The restrictions apply to the 26 countries of the Schengen zone.

Here they are listed (in Spanish) :

Alemania, Austria, Bélgica, Dinamarca, Eslovenia, España, Estonia, Finlandia, Francia, Grecia, Holanda, Hungría, Islandia, Italia, Letonia, Liechtenstein, Lituania, Luxemburgo, Malta, Noruega, Polonia, Portugal, República Checa, República Eslovaca, Suecia y Suiza.

So, not including Ireland nor the UK...

So, to get into Schengen from the US, simply fly to Ireland or UK and travel on from there, while there are no restrictions on that), and vice-versa.

6. I think he said EU

7. Not all EU members are Schengen, not all Schengen members are EU

Croatia, Cyprus and Ireland are EU but not Schengen members

Norway, Iceland and Switzerland are Schengen members, but not EU.

For example.

Russia stretches from Europe to the far east. It's not so much whether or not Russia is part of Europe--it's more like "part of Russia is in Europe." But parts of Russia also border the Caucasus, China, Mongolia, Korea and the Pacific Ocean. Eleven time zones!

8. Hard to believe Trump would EVER ban Russia!

His boss Putie would not approve.
