I presume that Europe will continue to participate in American politics, as is tradition.

It’s not interference when European politicians and celebrities interject in American and Australian elections. /s

As long as you follow the golden rule: Pay no attention to the middle eastern ethnostate behind the curtain.

Which Middle Eastern ethnostate?

(Yes, I know you mean Israel, but people like you don’t even consider the fact that literally every state in the Middle East is an ethnostate because you have to be a Jew to run Israel and a Muslim to run all the others.)

If Europe participates in American politics, they sure have done a shitass job of it. I wish America was more like Europe.

Practically, there’s little to nothing the Europeans can do. They are thoroughly dominated geopolitically and economically by the Americans. From today’s FT: EU reassesses tech probes into Apple, Google and Meta – they are already in the process of rolling over on tech regulation for the benefit of US Big Tech. Likewise, when the US wants Europe to take part in containment against China, Europe will obey even if they are the ones who get hurt (it will be American firms, surprise surprise, that reap the benefits). On a whole range of issues, it’s the same story.

Many European leaders have seen this problem, but none have ever been able to do anything significant about it.
