Surely France chose to go to war with NATO when it invaded two NATO members (West Germany and the Netherlands) at the start of 1998?
I've always presumed that the fact that the NATO powers were somewhat pre occupied with fighting the Warsaw Pact at the time meant that other partners in the alliance, primarily the United Kingdom and the United States, chose to turn the proverbial blind eye to this move by the French (perhaps after some top secret negotiations between the various Governments).
I've often thought the French might use their presence in Quebec to influence similar negotiations between the French and US Governments (Milgov or Civgov). For example, the French might be willing to supply Milgov with oil on the condition that Milgov recognised the Quebec Separatists as the legitimate government of Quebec?
