France could mitigate the impact of economic sanctions by its EU neighbours (primarily, Germany) by strengthening its trade and economic ties with the BRIC countries, and also by creating more trade agreements with other members of the G7, and with other developed countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, etc.
This should mitigate the potential impact of economic sanctions by its EU neighbours which belong to NATO and the EU.
Whilst other NATO countries might resort to military action in response to a French attack on the USA they are not allowed to bring economic sanctions against France because NATO is not an economic organisation.
Also, the other members of NATO are powerless to take military action because Britain and France are the only other countries within NATO to have an independent nuclear deterrent.
Ultimately, economic sanctions by Germany would be ineffectual in the long term, assuming that France could establish alternative markets outside the EU or the G7 countries.
Do you agree with this assessment?
