For NATO, France's departure could be awkward but hardly fatal; for De Gaulle, it would be easy and would hardly change a thing. Sheltered behind Germany, France will have to be defended by NATO's sword and shield, member or not, in the event of Russian attack. So De Gaulle can have his gateau and eat it too.
