It's not accurate to say the EU has been printing money like crazy for 10 years, when for most of that time, the money printing was minor compared to 2020-2022.

Europe, much like the US, was printing money, at a fairly steady rate from 2008 to 2020, at which point they doubled the money supply in a little over a year. That is, they printed more money in ~18 months then they had since the EU was formed.
