It is an affiliated member unfortunately, after De Gaulle walked out and has as usual been it's normal obstructionist self..

Hmmmmm declaring war on France, that is too tempting for this board.

France *is* a member of NATO.

France did leave NATO's command structure to thumb its nose at the US in 67, but did not leave the treaty as a whole.

IIRC, it re-integrated at some point in the 90s, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
