With the last sentence you cross the line from creative accounting to flatly false claims:5. That's patently false, the french reparations in peaked in 1873 at 11,1%, while Germans one made only 2,5 of their GDP in average. Even counting for the differences between peak and average and what Germany paid compared to what she was supposed to pay it doesn't add even remotely to what you pretend.
Germany was supposed to pay 20 billion Marks within two years. France 5 billion Francs within three years. The exchange rate is 0.81 Marks per Franc, 1914 German GDP is about 3 times 1870 French. So with simple maths you find that this first rate alone exceeds 1871's reparations in the (IMO most relevant) total amount, average amount and the (IMO irrelevant) peak rate.
Just look at the arms restrictions in the TOV: no airforce, no tanks, no heavy artillery, not even significant stockpiles of spare rifles and ammunition. Compare that to what France and the USSR were able to mobilize in further wars of aggression against newly. Then decide who needs a lesson in realism.7. In Russia case it would have refused to sign a treaty, even with the inevitable consequences, since without their forces they would have been dead in the civil war to come (and I would argue that sheer harsheness of the territorial clauses was more then enough to compensate for the absence of army limits at Brest-Litovsk. In France case they're was a bunch of neutral powers left who would have seen this as tilting the balance too much in Germany favor, no one with some semblance of power left had similar feelings for Germany in 1919. Again, circumstances and realism for you.
