I feel like we’re living in a Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start the Fire song 2.0 (Fall Out Boy did a 2.0 version of the song where they used more recent events.) 3.0 and the events in the song are happening at 1.25 times the speed of the original.

I don’t understand why you’d say this. The US 100% did start all these fires. Not only did they start them, they keep adding wood to the fire. It’s so blatant even a blind person could see.
Billy Joel has great song and I appreciate him as an artist, but I’ll he damned if he isn’t an imperialist justifier.
Is that how the song should be taken?
I always understood it as him or the speaker singing the lyrics as if the audience was innocent in the events, and the leaders /villains/whoever are not “us” and they did it.
