Melenchon, an irrelevant, woke, figure unlikely to go anywhere, has not thought very well about the situation. A new Franco-Russian Alliance is, certainly, not unthinkable, indeed, Mr Bolton has recently suggested a kind of 'alliance' of Russia with the West to contain China, however, the difficulties seem unsurmountable.
A France outside NATO will be out of step with Germany (unless, of course, also Germany leaves NATO) and, therefore, leave France isolated in the West and surrounded by potential enemies, with its potential ally, Russia, receding in the horizon. France is too dependent on Germany already and it is not likely that she could leave the partnership without breaking the EU too and 'liberating' a new Imperial Germany in the process. Also, France is already in hostile competition with the 'Wagner' group and China in Africa and in the process of being expelled from its former colonies. A New Franco-Russian Alliance will only recreate the situation before WWI with weaker partners. Not a good prospect for France.
