Russia Will Not Give Up Fighters for Human Rights – Putin on Snowden

 23 May 2014 The US is to blame for whistleblower Edward Snowden ending up in Moscow, but Russia is not the type of country that hands over fighters for human rights [unlike USociopaths], Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday. „[Snowden] arrived at our transit zone and later it was explained that no one wanted him…And they [the Americans] scared everyone, and he ended up in our transit zone. What were we supposed to do? Russia is not the type of country that gives up fighters for human rights,“ Putin said during the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. „Why did [the Americans] scare the whole world? If they can force planes down with presidents on board, then they could have forced down anything with Mr. Snowden on board anywhere,“ he said. [Exactly.]
