That it's all discussed in this context is fine. The NYTimes and it's commentators are obviously also mostly US. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to limit one's reasoning to one country alone. When one sees a phenomenon in multiple countries, a shared cause is often likelier than unrelated national causes.
