Would France sit out the War?

"France is a special case, while she remains a member of the NATO alliance, her forces are not part of any NATO integrated military structure, nor are they under NATO control. France goes even further than Norway and Denmark, which do not permit foreign forces to be stationed on their soil during peacetime, by also ruling out NATO exercise and having only limited participation in NATO commands, activity and decision making.

France believes that the independence it seeks in its foreign policy is incompatible with integration into NATO defense planning. Yet, just about all of the decision-makers in the mainstream of French political life realize that the country is totally committed to the West, and the realities of modern geopolitics have forced France to act in concert with her NATO allies in assuring European security. While France retains the right not to participate with NATO forces in a future conflict, plans exist for such participation should it be seen as necessary."

Now, while admiting that GDW had a wonderful plot point, given the world situation in the early 1990s, would France have really sit out a general war?
