Nixon's finance minister brought the American selfishness and irresponsibility to the point when saying: "It is our dollar, but your problem."
But the wakeup day will be coming, and not too far away it is. And then the pain and agony, the depth of the fall will be so much worse.
I must say I will withhold both compassion and sympathy on that day. Both would be completely undeserved.
Not that European politicians think differently. But the American example causes more distortions in the world than that of just one or two European countries, and the USD also is the biggest debtor in known history.

tl;dr: Everything's America's fault.
Your comparisons are irrelevant; never has "known history" seen this many people, with this kind of technology, and this many complex problems.
As for your compassion and sympathy - well, if they're going to walk alongside your patronizing arrogance, go ahead and keep 'em - we're good.
