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.
