Can Sovereign States be bloodlessly destroyed?

Mr Jouet, France's Foreign Minister, is reported in the Financial Times, as saying: “I think the UK will not see another such opportunity to secure its objectives of taking part in the European adventure, staying at the heart of the EU project and at the same time respecting the peculiarities of British society. Nor could Britain retreat to a special relationship with the US: unlike in the late 1990s, both France and Germany now saw themselves as “an enthusiastic ally” of Washington, he said.” My interpretation of the first paragraph quoted above - "Britain must get out, it is now or never." The message I receive from the second paragraph is - "France and Germany imagine they can continue as independent sovereign states after ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, while others cannot" The tragic reality is that Lisbon will ensure the break-up and destruction of probably all European sovereign states as we presently have come to recognise them. This may well not be considered as a tragedy by many EU federalists, but as they collapse under the tyranny of the EU now being created and logically attempt to regain their lost sovereignty and self-governance on a differing regional basis (as we are now witnessing in Belgium and the UK) the potential for unspeakable bloodshed and violence seems enormous. So just why are Europe's leaders embarked on this tremendous folly? Self-interest and greed seems the only answer! Democracy across twenty plus different entities with several languages is possible as the Swiss Confederation has proven down the centuries! The EU power elites have chosen to ignore this fact! On their heads will lie the consequences if the National Parliaments now fail in their obligations to their electorates and recklessly ratify this Lisbon Treaty.
