There is simply not going to be a 'France' or at least a relevant version thereof, after all is said and done, the Germans might tolerate an independent Spain or Italy but France is going to torn to ribbons.
All of this ironically enough gives the RU a rather interesting option if you consider that Huguenots are Betters, a revanchist and protestant France, greatly diminished though it may be can be very useful as a foothold on German dominated western Europe.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about how many fascists get gassed by the French before the latter get
subjected to Tuetonic methods of
colonial control? I find the preening about how nasty the Irish are for defending themselves against English genocidists to be an utterly revolting form of enlightened centrism.
"Well the English are trying to annihilate an entire ethnic group because they refused to be properly grateful for being enslaved under an apartheid state, but the Irish are using any method available to defend themselves so the conflict is a grey and grey affair".
In summary there are good people on both sides and Europe can't be levelled fast enough so that cowboys can joust one another under ivy choked bastions.
