I think they're spread too thin too + election year. I would bet that they will try to convince one of their neocolonies in africa to do a military intervention, it's what they're doing in Haiti.

They already tried using ECOWAS right after the coup, and that fell apart. It's unlikely they'd have better luck with it a second time around.

Election, schmelection. The Pantomime won't change the bastards in the pentagon and Langley. Those will continue to operate, regardless of whose face is on TV

The elections do disrupt the political leadership of the country somewhat
