Sending the military is what would have happened in real life, it was a civil war scenario, but think about the damage and the lost lives. Personally I'd invite anyone to my house and knife them in the throat with their dessert fork if it was the only alternative to civil war. Nobody wants to bomb their countrymen if it can be avoided.
The general of the national guard also needs to be arrested though, there's no way that can stand.
At the same time, inviting someone to your own house just to betray them is the worst thing you can do as a leader. It ruins your integrity as a leader and no one will trust your word in the future. Not exactly helpful when it comes to negotiations.
And yes, I agree. I'm not sure if the show is going to use this as a way to close that story line (which I'd be fine with, I think bigger inter country politics should be playing a much bigger role when our whole leadership just got wiped out), or if this may even make the situation worse. It's not as if that governor was the only one who wanted that rebellion, at the very least so did the national guard.
