America seems to take Indians for complete fools - they're using cheap, childish tricks to try to get us into their sphere of influence

1. In their desperation to sell us their F-16 fighter jets, they've renamed / rebranded F-16 as F-21. Are we fools? Can't the whole world see this cheap trick? Will we really believe just like that that the F-21 is a "different animal"?
1. They seem to think that by naming this old wine F-21, Indians will somehow feel proud and impressed that the plane is somehow just one step short of American flagship F-22.
2. These Americans also think that repeatedly saying things like “The F-21 is different, inside and out,”, will somehow convince us that this plane is indeed different / new.
3. Further, these Americans are trying to link this so-called F-21 to their F-22 and F-35 aircraft. They're using statements such as “The F-21 has common components and learning from Lockheed Martin’s 5th Generation F-22 and F-35 and will share a common supply chain on a variety of components,”, to make us feel like perhaps this so-called F-21 has advanced technologies of US' 5th generation fighter planes. No way. You're allowed to make such a statement even if only 1 nut and 1 bolt from F-22 or F-35 is copied into this F-21. There's no mention in percentage terms or feature terms about technologies from F-22 / F-35 put into F-21.
2. Americans renamed their "United States Pacific Command (USPACOM)" to "United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM)" to appease India. Again, a cheap, low-class trick. They think that Indians can be satisfied with such low-cost tricks. Throw these almost-free breadcrumbs towards Indians and they'll gladly leave their decades-old friends [Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc.] and become great friends with America.
