What were we supposed to do? Russia is not the type of country that gives up fighters for human rights,&#8220; Putin said during the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. <strong>&#8222;Why did [the Americans] scare the whole world? <span style="color:#ff0000;">If they can force planes down with presidents on board, then they could have forced down anything with Mr. Snowden on board anywhere</span>,&#8220; he said.
