In my current French game, I've been trying to help out the CSA - Warred vs USA until CSA won their independence war, then sphered the CSA and allied them to prevent them getting eaten by USA.

All was good, and helped them get two more states with their cores over several decades.

Then CSA became big enough to become a GP and leave my sphere (and my alliance at the same time... why??? retards). Obviously USA instantly declared war for restoration of order, and clobbers them completely before I even have time to fabricate any CBs to help them (Playing HoD with no mods).

Can't even use Free People or Liberate nation to recreate them.

So ... how can I support these idiots that are constantly trying to suicide?
 
You don't, USA with their cores are pretty much the most railroaded part of Vicky, other than Prussia's -> NGF -> Germany formation, instead of Austria.
 
I guess your best hope is that during the war with the US they drop to secondary status, allowing you to influence them and intervene to hold status quo.

The other solution is to attack the US preventively, weakening them enough so that they won't attack the CSA. After all, if New York is french it's much more convenient to build the statue of liberty.
