Hardly, the EU isn't going to miss the UK anymore than we'd miss a single state. The UK's perception of it's own importance in the grander scheme of things was and is entirely blown out of proportion. It's undoubtedly in their interests to penalize the UK now, even if it wasn't before, and doing so will not penalize them in any meaningful way. The exit emboldened other factions to leave, and those who would see a penalty placed upon the UK as being too harsh are likely already part of those factions...which already have a poor opinion of the EU.
If my neighbor took a shit on the hood of my car...I'd walk into his house and drop a deuce on his kitchen table...and it wouldn't bother me a bit if that made him, or my other neighbors...think less of me.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
