War being in love with America and people cheering for countries getting nukes is also a deliberate choice. America holding a large portion of Gun devil and the statue of Liberty housing weapon devils is also something.
Fujimoto always stuck me as a bit of an ameriboo with how much he's in love with Hollywood so i really wasn't expecting him to all of a sudden go this hard on the critique of their warmongering
Even if he's doesn't mean to critique their warmongering, the concept of wars and weapons and especially nuclear bomb is so intrinsically tied to USA at this point I can't see it not happening.
He's just like Kojima dude. He's criticizing America warmongering exactly because he love American media, if you pay attention to American media landscape you will notice a lot of internal criticism, even Star Wars was allegory of Vietnam War. You have to be a world-class idiot if you consumed American media and missed the recurring theme.
He likes part of the culture, it's the foreign policy and war industrial complex that he doesn't seem to keen on. The previous arc of the japanese government sacrificing the young to prolong the geriatric people in power, is as much a critic of what is happening in japan as well.
He feels to really be critical on systems in place regardless of country.

He usually goes hard when it comes to critiquing America

It wasn't random. It just plays in the most patriotic of situations such as entire cities getting nuked.
