They are not the best comparisons as there were other factors involved.

Zimbabwe has destroyed its farming output, Weimar had its industrial region occupied by France.

The US and EU have been running quantitative easing programmes for nearly 10 years and inflation is low.

It’s not pure cause and effect.

Yes I understand the situations are vastly different but that is not guaranteed in the future. The US is most definitely showing signs of decay and decline. Many more economically challenged leaders like Trump in charge and the situation could change beyond recognition. It only took one decision to destroy farming in Zimbabwe.
