How strong is this use of ～ては?

I'm wondering if this ～ては is a command or a suggestion. And I'm trying to
determine how strong it is in this expression.

[This site](https://jlptsensei.com/learn-japanese-
grammar/%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AF-%E3%81%A7%E3%81%AF-tewa-dewa-meaning/) lists one
meaning of ～ては as another way to express ～たら. In that case, is this ては
equivalent to たらどうですか, a kind of semi-polite sarcastic suggestion? Or is it a
replacement for ～て, expressing a stronger imperative?

世界がどう見ているか顧みては。Perhaps you should reflect on how the world sees (your
actions).

世界がどう見ているか顧みては。Consider how the world sees (your actions)!

Any other suggestions?

EDIT: The context is
[here](https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2021-03-29/n-korea-calls-
souths-leader-a-parrot-raised-by-america). The story is about Kim Jon Un's
sister criticizing the South Korean prime minister.




According to [日本国語大辞典]{にほんこくごだいじてん}：

  * 接続助詞「て」に係助詞「は」が付いたもの。上に来る語によって「では」とも。現在では「て（で）わ」と読んでいる) 「て」および「は」の用法に応じて、いろいろな意となる。

There are many ways to complete this sentence, but since it's a suggestion
"about" the theme,「ては」gives the possibility to the reader/listener to
interpret it according to context.

  * 世界がどう見ているか顧みては「どうですか・いいんじゃないでしょうか・いかがでしょうか」。

Also, if it's an alert to not do something, 「ならない・いけません」can complete the
sentence.
