I definitely think that arresting the cabal and cohorts is part of the plan. I don't know if the military option is required for that but maybe it is. If the courts and bureaucracy is too compromised maybe military is the only way.

I think they are not mutually exclusive though. The difference is that Trump is legally still in charge as a civilian leader. If he is re-inaugurated and then makes the war with China official, there is probably a lot of leeway for dealing with anything related to foreign stuff in the military fashion.
