2018, 2022 FIFA World Cup

Every four years, soccer World Cup is held. Brazil is the host country in 2014. I didn't care much about the future World Cup but I just realized the 2018 event is held in Russia and 2022 is in Qatar.
Russia is facing a huge conflict between Ukraine and terrorists attacks are often occurred. Russia sent their troops to Crimea even though they were holding the winter Olympic Games. Can Russia hold the World Cup safely?
Qatar is one of the hottest place in the world. It will be 40 degrees Celsius in the World Cup season. Can players perform well in that harsh conditions? And they have many troubles in construction sites for the World Cup. Qatar has few population, so they have to relay on migrants to prepare for the big event. Many foreign workers were killed by poor working conditions. Can they held the event at the price of migrants life? In addition, there are rumors about corruptions for voting.
I'd like to watch the big event in safety and stable place. I think that's also good for players and audiences. FIFA should reconsider future World Cup.
