Biden: “Putin doesn’t know I know what I know and I know he doesn’t.”

President Joe Biden says he plans to “go on the offensive, using the NATO Rule 5” when he confronts Vladimir Putin, his Russian counterpart, in their face-to-face meeting in Geneva.
“I know all about the Rule 5, known it since I learned all about it when I was playing baseball at Archmere Academy,” the U.S. president said. “Putin ain’t the first foreigner named Vladimir I’ve had to explain it to. There was that Canadian kid, Guerrero, about 25 years ago.”
Biden denied he was confusing Major League Baseball’s Rule 5, which allows clubs without a full 40-man roster to select certain non-40-man-roster players from other clubs, with NATO’s Article 5, in which an armed attack on one member of the alliance is considered an attack on all of them.
Also, Guerrero, born in the Dominican Republic, played the first eight of his 16 big-league seasons with the Montreal Expos.
“Don’t tell me what I don’t know, Jack,” Biden replied testily when a reporter began to explain the difference – and that Guerrero’s son is in his third year with the Toronto Blue Jays.
“Listen to me: I know what I know and Putin doesn’t know I know what I know and I know what he doesn’t,” Biden said. “Also, he doesn’t know what I don’t know I and I know that. Get it? When I was at Archmere we had a kid named Vladimir. Called him Vlad the Bad. Couldn’t play shortstop to save his soul. Tried to backhand every grounder. Took him out behind the practice field to straighten him out. Had him catching that ol’ pigskin ’til his cleats were wore out and no school would attack us on our home field unless their country was backing ’em up and even then they’d have to sign an agreement not to do it again unless there was a border problem with the players at Wilmington Friends, and I don’t know why they were called friends ’cause they were tough little buggers, and those Quakers could give you a real hard time if you wanted to debate the National Anthem and if it hadn’t been for the French burning down Fort Mack Henry during the Civil War, William Ryan Key would never have written it … So don’t tell me what I know.”
