The walls have been breached. Whoever doesn't (didn't) see this coming has purposely gouged his eyes out so as to remain blind.
Speaking of metaphors and allegories (Jerusalem-Babylon-America), it's like the writing on the wall that noone can read:
Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see JerUSAlem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
You’re right.
