ELI5: What is the difference between Country A printing more currency, and Country B giving Country A currency? I understand why printing more currency can lead to inflation, but am confused about why the second scenario does not also lead to inflation.

Printing more money is like having a pizza that is cut as 8 slices, and you cut it into 16 slices. You have more slices but it's the same amount of pizza. Getting money from another country is like another country giving you a second pizza. Not right now, but down the road you need to give them back a pizza, or possibly more than just one due to interest, but hopefully by that point you have enough pizza to pay them back.
