BTW, there's a certain paradox: if you were surprised by the resistance, this means you didn't expect it, hence you didn't really think that these would be boats carrying dangerous, armed terrorists; If you really thought that the situation was truly dangerous, how did you let them surprise you this way?
Por cierto, en cierto modo es absurdo: si les sorprende encontrar resistencia, significa que no la esperaban, por lo que no pensaban que esos barcos pudieran transportar terroristas peligrosos y armados; si realmente creían que la situación es peligrosa, ¿de verdad iban a dejar que les sorprendieran así?
