While I can appreciate that, our like-mindeds, as you referenced, were able to position their assets in such a way that they could help their citizens. As you said, they were also able to ferry some of our own Canadians out. If the U.S. and other like-mindeds were also surprised, how were they able to get their assets in such a position? My understanding from news reporting is that there were two C-130s in the region as well. Were we not able to secure landing rights?
I'm just trying to understand why the lag if there was such a surprise that was more widespread.
