than they really are, which is why he wants them. On a Mercator map it looks like Russian missiles would have to head west-southwest to hit the US, but in fact they'd go over the Arctic and over Canada. His stupid Golden Dome is useless without making Canada part of it - assuming it's even technologically feasible in the first place, which it isn't.
