Gen. Bahin 10 minutes later: "I admit that this is even more bizarre than I would ever have thought possible ..."

The Major never confirmed that it was clear...
At the height of Covid-19, we couldn't visit family in nursing-/retirement homes and had to "visit" via videoconferencing software like Zoom. I have an aunt and uncle in their late-90s whom are real "radio-people", they never watched TV or used computers. Panel 6 really reminded me of that Zoom-call.
So who is this President then?
And is the regular desk phone one where the * & # are on the same key? or is the # just missing?
Considering this is 2014 Russia in story.
Or maybe it's a different president because the appearance of aliens.
Presidents call via red phones, not skype, everybody knows that.
IIRC The Adversary's president calls your president on the red phone.
FWIW, historically, there've been phones where the # was replaced with another symbol or where both keys were blank or missing, but I can't find an instance of just one of the keys being AWOL, much less one as modern-looking as the general's.
I would still consider it possible that some overly "creative" designer just moved the # key outside the standard 3x4 grid, though ...
Speaking of, though, those cables that only pop out of hammerspace while you have picked up the receiver are a pretty cool feature.
I knew that red phone was trouble
Seems the plain one tries to catch up!
