Shooting down Russian planes?
Bombing Russian artillery?
I believe it when it I see it happening. Bad idea, btw. Very bad idea.
Imagine Russia starts bombing American units in Iraq. Anyone believing the US would sit still and not militarily react - in Iraq and beyond? Shoot at Russian planes - and see them shooting back. Then take a time out and imagine how this necessarily must and will all end.
Now all this is a very realistic scenario for an escalating World War Three. I am not willing to wage one just to save one already destroyed city. Costs and gains, you know. Too much of the first, none of the latter.

Crack down on drugs and reward the drug dealers for any information

Has not worked well in decades on war on drugs, or has it? Legalise drugs instead. Ruins the criminals' business model. Be cheaper than them, and they must quit then. You also reduce drug related crime that is done to obtain money to buy drugs, if drugs get cheaper and legal. You get people off the streets.
Why does a state have to take it upon itself to tell people which drugs they may consume? Certain drugs - mass-damaging and mass killing people, btw - are highly welcomed if the state has obtained a monopole to tax their consummation. People are to be free. And that means they are to be responsible for themselves and their decisions.
Legalise it. Ruins a whole plenty of bad guy'S way to earn their money for a living. The whole "war on drugs" until today has been a terrible desaster, and has only boosted the prison industry in the US.
