France and Russia are allies in History and will continue even after actual régime. It's Always England who makes the sheet in Europe.

Comment
The Emperor does not make mistakes. All lies from HistoryMarche!
seems like u gathered enough facts, but came to the wrong conclusions on several questions like: economy, cause of war.
1. russian economy was in bad shape because of: – alexander waging constants wars and conducting huge mobilization to undermine French allied Germany, not because of continental system. that system stimulated internal production which in long term benefited economy. also slavery. serfdom. key reason of russian economy suffering.
2. war was caused by alexander who despite advantageous Tilsit peace, which gave him new territories, wanted to fight Napoleon (for british money, internal madness). napoleon wanted peace that's why in 1807 after Friedland he rejected his marshals plea to pursue the russians and gifted territories to alexander. napoleon wanted to appease him
3. Lithuania was deprived from resources because alexander kept there his mobilized army ready to attack french through germany. but germans refused to join him. they also wanted peace.
Best time to invade is when Putin is in charge.
"Why alarm the continent? Why don't you negotiate with me? I'm not stupid enough to believe that it is Oldenburg that occupies you. I see it is Poland.(…) I'm starting to think you're the one who wants to seize it. (…) No, you won't get it, even if your army camped on the heights of Montmartre. (…) If this crisis is not over by November, I will raise 120,000 men (…). I will not cede an inch of Polish territory, not a single village, not a single mill." Napoleon to Kourakine, Russian ambassador to Paris, 15th August 1811.
