War aims of a Fascist France

The danger is not gonna be France. The danger will be a Russian state that outperforms the Soviet Union.
Outperforming the early Soviet Union is not a guarantee, especially without the Ukraine and facing a hostile Germany with a ring of satellites on its Western border.

A couple of thoughts:

1)As said earlier, I am not sure Germany can hold onto the Ukraine. Its control of it in 1918 was pretty nominal in OTL, and will the German state really fight to keep it out of the Soviet Union? With what men?

2) I'm not sure how a hostile ring of German satellites is different than OTL.

The problem for Germany is that the earlier it wins, the less likely it gets Ukraine. The later it wins, the less likely it holds onto Ukraine.
 
I'd imagine that a Fascist France would try to emulate the last time France was super successful: The Napoleonic Era.

The most successful far-right movement in OTL France was Action Francaise under Charles Maurras; it was a firmly royalist movement, and as such I doubt it would put much effort into emulating Napoleon.
 
Why would they focus on the Jews? I'd say the Fascist French, having lost the war would blame most if not all on the immigrants, a lot more of them Arab and Sub-Saharan than Jews. Its not logical to think the French fascists would be just as anti-semitic as the Nazis. the fascist nationalism in this case would mean race purity against all non-aryans, not just jews.

Bonapartism works actually very well for the French Fascists.

France has a long and troubled history with anti-Semitism, and much of OTL's French fascist movements were hardcore Catholic. Any strain of fascism that really took root in France would almost certainly contain strong elements of anti-semitism, but it's an open question as to whether that would explode into the full blown genocide exhibited by the Nazi's.

If you had looked at my other post in response to a similar point you'd have realized I meant in terms of territory.
