Actually, no, it isn't. While increasing security and being more cautious is one thing, a Dust Embargo on every kingdom right after his army seemingly kicked Vale while it was down in the eyes of the public is only going to raise questions, and make people not trust Atlas.

And then, causing a Lockdown of his entire nation is stupid for 2 reasons.

1) It severely slows down trade, if it doesn't stop it entirely. Which is bad, because Solitas is a freaking wasteland of ice and snow. And Dust is not eatable.

2) It makes the people paranoid, worried, etc., and as good as Atlas's natural defenses are against the Grimm, a Horde can still achieve something if it's too big. And the moment it happens, it will escalate.
