In an article on Putin/Obama phone calls there is a very telling paragraph. The Americans/English communicate in a very different way from the Europeans, especially the Eastern Europeans --- I have observed this in my dealings with both sides. That sentence contains a lot, but you can get the essence/truth from a single paragraph in the following article. People often reveal a (social) truth by mistake. washingtonpost.com One paragraph: But despite the near-total lack of common ground, the U.S. side, at least, considered the calls useful. It’s always worth talking to Putin, the senior official said, because he says what he thinks and may even reflect later on a conversation that seemed to go nowhere at the time. From this you may reasonably conclude that the U.S side does not say what it thinks. Who knows? The truth could be worse.
