The Biden administration is looking at the possibility of setting up an emergency direct hotline between the US and China, a new report alleges.
Citing a US official and another source familiar with early conversations about the device, CNN reported Wednesday that the administration was pursuing an idea similar to that of the “red telephone” set up between the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
The Moscow-Washington hotline — as it was also known, as there was never actually a red phone used for the communications — was established in 1963 under President John F. Kennedy.
At the time, it allowed for a secure dialogue between the Pentagon and the Kremlin in an effort to avoid nuclear war between the feuding superpowers.

Biden does not need a phone.
He needs scissors so he can cut the puppet strings off his back. /spit.

Next he’ll be wanting a Batphone.

I have the red line ringtone from that movie on my cell phone.

I had the standard old time ring tone on my phone and was told only old men use it. I switched to the diving alarm sound, and my family says it is worse.

They will send him a toy phone that makes music when you spin the dial. It won’t be connected to anything, but Joe will drag it around with him like a child.

That was my original ringtone because I thought it would stand out from everyone else. Till I heard that kind of old-time phone rings going off everywhere!

He doesn’t have to do a thing if he has WeChat on his smartphone. They’ve been monitoring him the whole time and can send messages though it when they need to give him orders.

“Red Lines” to China are a TOTAL waste of time. When George W. Bush used one to call Chinese dictator, Hu Jintao in 2001—after the PRC shot down one our EP3 airplanes in international airspace—Hu refused to pick up the phone.

If he still has the mental capacity to enter a phone number to call out, he probably won't have it much longer. I'd like to witness a test where he's required to copy a phone number and then use it to phone someone without assistance.
