The fact that France has nukes is probably irrelevant in the Soviet's calculations. After all, they launched nukes at the USA and were obliterated in return. Any payload the French can add to the party isn't going to make much difference. All they'll probably do is end up nuking places twice.
Another calculation the Soviets miht have made was that it was worth crippling the only neutral nation capable of producing nuclear weapons. In fact, if you follow the 2300AD timeline, they should have nuked them more so that they wouldn't have turned out as top dogs.
