Belgium’s prime minister was a little surprised on landing back home from Wednesday’s NATO summit in Turkey to find that he had a handgun and ammunition in his luggage.
To be perfectly honest, I think this is a brilliant gift for several reasons listed below in no particular order:
The gift is a functioning tool of violence like NATO, reminding everyone of the core mission of NATO
The gift is a revolver, a type of firearm that is considered by many to be more reliable than a modern semi-automatic firearm in adverse conditions, symbolizing the requirement of NATO partners to still work together, despite difficult circumstances.
The Turkish branding tells the recipient that Turkey is committed to the fight and has an arms industry to consider.

As a symbol this is a brilliant gift!
Plus he gave them ammo. How funny would it have been if someone took the opportunity?
