IMO the Qatar one was safer. Qatar is a country that wants to be seen as a tourist destination. I’m sure there was a concerted effort to look as good as possible during the world cup. I imagine that during the World Cup the police were instructed to be even more lenient towards tourists breaking the rules because they knew that there was a ton of media in the country, and they wanted that media to tell a story that Qatar was a great place to visit, to live, or to set up a company.
The Trump admin cares a lot more about satisfying their base when it comes to cracking down on “immigrants” than it cares about tourism. Tourists are definitely still a valid target.
Do you expect Qatar World Cup and US (North America) World Cup to be much different?
I wouldn’t have gone to that one either.
