Gladio targeted all of Europe, not just the East. Remember that the Communist parties were strong in the west too, especially in Italy and France. Hell, they were part of the government under De Gaulle as members of the coalition.
The cia under dulles had a few plots to assassinate De Gaulle. And yet still somehow the French didn't care and aligned with the US anyway.
