Reminds me somewhat of Kaiser Wilhelm II letting Lenin pass through Germany into Russia: thus destroying an enemy, but in the not-so-long run destroying oneself.
Of course, France had little way of knowing the consequences the USA would have (and even if it did, I suspect thanks to men like Lafayette that they still would have gone on).
