I think the Philippines is closer than Russia 3854 air miles Boston - Murmansk
6661 air miles Seattle to Manila
Sea miles would be higher for each, but it isn't even close.
You all need to get new globes.

The Philippines are closer than Vladivostok?
Several ships taking supplies (mostly gasoline, as I recall having read) to Vladivostok were torpedoed off the west coast in 1942. Kind of hard to believe meaningful supplies could have been gotten through to the Philippines.
No accident the movie about torpedo boats in 1941-42 Philippines was called “They Were Expendable”.
