What is 'rude' about indicating a truth? What Germany pays to NATO and at the same time enriches Russia through buying its gas, are facts. Is it not 'rude' or just plain underhanded, as Obama was, to deny the above facts to the American people? There is an element of cultural snobbery in accusing others of being rude, also it is petty; where to put your cheese knife etc, if it is a choice between being the guy rudely stating facts and the supine guy who denies his public the facts...because it might be 'rude' to do so....I will go for the rude guy who gives us the facts every time. Wouldn't you? Well, yes i would providing he does so in a circumspect way, keep his voice respectfully low and know what spoon to use for desert. Important that one is not viewed as being rude, so keep the facts out of it, after all they might upset one's hosts.
