It kept it's nuclear element out of the NATO chain of command (the main reason it wasn't in the NATO command structure in the 60s, 70s, and 80s), but still kept a corps stationed in Germany. It was lukewarm on NATO because it was France, and it would be willing to fight anyone. It strikes me that even if France were to sue for peace, the terms that would finally bring an end to hostilities between it and the Soviets and the ensuing peace itself would be so stormy as to make Tito's Yugoslavia seem docile by comparison.įrance wasn't lukewarm on NATO because it was willing to go with someone else. I've read a lot of WWIII books that would probably say that France would drop out of NATO, or even end up signing a peace treaty with the Soviets if the the Warsaw Pact were to get to the Rhine. I thought about this thread for a solid 8 hours at work today.
