I'm sure you'd be welcome if you ever wanted to - you're already ideologically highly aligned (and never really were with the US...)
Shifting eastward wouldn't be frictionless - for example, your oil infrastructure is designed to send it south, not to ports that can export it to the east, and European refineries would need to set up to process it, for example. But it's pretty clear that the current status quo can no longer be relied on, as the US is intent on extortion.
