Yeah, it's a good old 'divide and conquer' here. Russia has already had a go at Liz Truss and I wouldn't be surprised if Germany will come along very soon as they are the 'old enemy' of Russia.
France is of course a historically uneasy partner of NATO with different parts being in and out from the 50's until 2009 when they fully rejoined. France could be considered one of the more likely countries to not participate in NATO actions along with the UK which has a little recent history on withdrawing from international communities of nations.
Both being nuclear weapon states that have at least some ability to go it alone also helps.
