Also, I will do you the kindness of answering your questions: I am a businessman, a language teacher and a freelance writer. I have dual citizenship (US and Italian) and I have spent half my life in Europe, and half in the US.

Regarding your question as to the source of my income, I collect royalties from the Medium platform under their "Partner Program".

If you are truly interested in my overall worldview, and particularly regarding Putin and Russia and the conflict in Ukraine, I invite you to read my self-described "seminal" article, "How the West Descended Into Idiocy"
