Putin gifted a new "Ural" motorcycle to an American guy — he couldn't find spare parts for his old bike due to sanctions.

Alaska resident Mark Warren rode a "Ural" motorcycle around Anchorage, but due to anti-Russian sanctions, he had trouble finding spare parts for it.

Putin learned about this — and ultimately instructed diplomats to present the American biker with a new bike as a gift.

If you take away the whole "evil dictator" thing, Putin is the kind of guy you want at the hunting camp over a long weekend.

that reporter just couldn't help herself from trying to shame him.

one of the advance people saw the guy riding on his beat up old bike. Putin decided to give him a new one. Putin isn't getting anything in return. It was all done out in the open for the whole world to see.

pretty cool gesture.

Hopefully it doesn’t randomly blow up like the cars of Putin’s political opponents tend to do …

That second statement tells you exactly what he's getting. The same thing all politicians hope for.

Putin is playing chess.

Because of our domestic politics, no POTUS can play anything other than checkers.

That's a nice looking "dough boy" design. Now I want one.

Alaska is just a weird arse place with weird arse people who want to be in the middle of nowhere so they can ride their motorcycle with a side cart 6 weeks a year.

Curious how they were able to import that thing with the embargo.

And yet, he's got the entire west, including the USA, spun up in a frickin pretzel over Ukraine.

Thank god. Weird is better than being a basic consumer.

They drove it here. Took the land bridge over the Bering Strait. $2 toll.

Cool gesture. It’ll get him some good press.

I’ll say this. I’d rather hang out with Putin than Biden. Biden seems like a sleaze.
