There’s tens of thousands of villages (if not more) like this all over the world. You are welcome to live in any of them. I’m sure “NYC” was just as boring then as those places are now. If you enjoy the amenities NYC of today has to offer, you can’t really complain that’s it’s not a pastoral rural village anymore.

ID isn’t designed to intercept the kinds of missiles and drones Russia is using against Kyiv. It’s for short range rockets and artillery.

And again, they don’t have any to spare.

Israel barely has enough Iron Dome batteries to protect itself. They aren’t selling them en masse on the open market. I think the US might possess 2 batteries. There’s no way Israel would risk their own safety by selling off currently deployed ID batteries to Ukraine or anyone else. And it’s a huge risk that it could be captured by Russia and intel on it then passed on to Iran.
