Great, I’m guessing no new Dahua cameras this year unless we want to contribute to the nation’s ever-increasing debt

Snake island Ukraine was captured by Russia and Ukraine bombarded it with artillery, Russia abandoned it. The Iranian Kharg Island is also at similar distance from mainland.
From wiki
On 27 June, Ukrainian officials released footage of Ukrainian forces conducting 10 precision strikes on the island. A second Pantsir-S1 was reportedly destroyed in the attack. The Russian MoD denied that their system was destroyed and instead claimed that their Pantsir system destroyed 12 rockets and a Ukrainian Su-25. Ukraine's southern command stated that there was an ongoing operation to recapture the island.
These regular attacks against the island and its resupply ships made the Russian position untenable. According to Ukrainian officials, the Russian Air Force attacked Ukrainian rocket and artillery positions in the Odesa Oblast with Su-35 fighters in order to reduce the intensity of the Ukrainian attacks on Snake Island. Three Kh-31D missiles were reportedly fired, but Ukrainians claimed no casualties or damages were reported. On 29 June, Ukrainian forces claimed to have destroyed one of four helicopters, possibly a Ka-52, that were approaching the island during a search and rescue operation.
On 30 June, Russian forces retreated in what has been described as a major Ukrainian victory

Bolton: Trump could declare victory over Iran and pull out at any moment — and that’s a problem. The public was never prepared for regime change.
Many leaders since the Cold War assumed history had ended, but the world is still dangerous and requires serious strategy.
1/
Bolton: Trump often looks for an off-ramp. My concern is he may damage Iran but stop before regime change happens.
That would leave the same regime in power — wounded and more desperate for revenge. If he wasn’t ready to finish it, he shouldn’t have started the war.
2/
Bolton: Iran's regime rules by repression despite deep public anger.
The economy is collapsing, most young people want a different future, and many ethnic groups oppose the government.
If the regime can’t defend itself after these attacks, its days may be numbered.
3/
Bolton: I would not have started war with Iran unless the goal was regime change and there was the resolve to see it through.
I would tell Trump to stay the course. Persistence and patience are needed.
