Well as a trained and experienced Operations Research Systems Analyst I had to chuckle at the naivete or deliberate deception of this twitter post, my friend Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen

1. They compared the USA which has the most robust testing capability to the European Union instead of Europe
European Union consists of the following member nations Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.
Notably absent in the Europe grouping are UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Russia, former Yugoslavia states, Albania.

2. They compared reported cases but not deaths in this graph.
3. there are other problems with this slight of hand graph.

Here is a much more reliable site

A few stats
Total Cases; Total Deaths; Total Recovered; Deaths per 1M population; Total Tests; tests per 1M
USA 3,474,160 138,183 1,543,036 417 43,017,251 129,936
UK 290,133 44,830 N/A 660 12,128,749 178,633
Spain 303,033 28,406 N/A 608 6,026,446 128,893
Russia 733,699 11,439 504,021 78 23,200,000 158,973
