Lots of circumstances are thankfully different. China's not in a Civil War. America is limited by geography, where as Germany had lots of choices on who to invade. There's no external cause for America's economic woes, where as Germany was having their economy drained by outside forces (eg. France, Britain).
No, this won't be as bad as WW2. Or rather the decisions are more distributed, so it's less likely to be.
Oh fuck off, Germany ended where it was because of the great depression. What you mentioned are just aggravating factors. Take that Nazi propaganda elsewhere
But, to your other point, USA projects so much power, they could invade virtually anywhere and get away with it. Look at Iraq.
My bet is a test run on Cuba, because "Guantanamo is getting too small". Then maybe a chunk of Mexico.
Exports from Germany to the nations it owed exceeded what could be produced by their economy, resulting in hyperinflation. Hence why they needed wheel barrows of money.
This is a historical fact that changed the west's views on war reparations and resulted in the conclusion that nation building was a requirement of post war efforts (for stabilities sake).
WW1 is regarded as a major cause of WW2. It wasn't a case of "The Great Depression happened then Germany decided to have a World War"... No, the poverty hit them particularly hard and whenever there's an external drain on manufacturing that outstrips the ability of a market to keep up, you always get hyperinflation.
Likewise there are other precedents for this in Zimbabwe's hyperinflation and Venezuelas:

So no, it's not "Nazi propaganda". It's why rebuilding after war is more prioritized, and why war reparations aren't as much anymore. We saw how that went in Germany.
