British Army spy caused ‘more lives lost than saved’

The police chief who led an inquiry into the activities of British Army double-agent ‘Stakeknife’ during ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, has described claims that his actions saved countless lives as being ‘hugely exaggerated’.

Speaking at the publication of his ‘Operation Kenova’ report, chief constable Jon Boutcher from the Police Service of Northern Ireland insists the spy’s actions ‘resulted in more lives being lost than were saved’.

Putin Vs. NATO? UK Military Declares It’s Ready to Fight ‘Tonight’ If… | World War III Imminent?

The United Kingdom has issued a strong warning, declaring its military is prepared to join the fight against Russia “tonight” if Moscow escalates aggression in Eastern Europe. Lieutenant General Sir Rob Magowan assured the Commons Defence Committee of the British Army's readiness, stating that any Russian invasion would be met with immediate resistance. Amid growing tensions over Ukraine, where Kyiv has launched strikes using US-supplied Atacms missiles, and concerns about NATO's eastern flank, the UK has bolstered its presence in Estonia and remains committed to defending Europe. As fears of a broader conflict loom, the possibility of World War III grows ever more tangible. #PutinVsNATO #UKMilitary #PutinOreshnikMissileStrike #WorldWarIII #RussianAggression #EasternEuropeConflict #NATOReadiness #UKDefense #RussiaInvasion #TensionsRising #GlobalConflict #UKArmy #NATOAlliance #DefendEurope #MilitaryAlert #NATOResponse ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.336~GR.124~
