It's been awhile but I remember the possibilty that 'the young lions of Tarshish' was a reference to America.
a eagle reference could go with the sons of eagles = Albania
Finis Jennings Dake, in his book, Revelation Expounded: Eternal Mysteries Simplified, p. 19, repudiates the idea that the USA is mentioned in prophecy:
Others find the United States in prophecy by taking the letters U.S.A. out of the name Jer-USA-lem. If this is the only way we can find the United States in prophecy, it would be best to leave her out. The fact is that the United States is not once mentioned in prophecy anywhere.
I tend to agree with him on this. I think it is a stretch to try to take symbols used in the Bible and add our personal meanings to them. Usually the symbols and metaphors in Scripture can be interpreted within the context of Scripture or by interpreting Scripture with other parts of Scripture. People always come up with goofy doctrines, especially on end time events, by giving personal interpretations to symbols that are not derived from the plain teaching within the Scripture.

Those who claim that America is mentioned in prophecy via the "eagle metaphor usually refer to the following passages: Ezekiel 17:17; Daniel 7:3-7; Revelation 8:13; Revelation 12:14.
Some can make a convincing argument for these passages symbolizing America just as that guy back in 1987 made a convincing argument, using Scripture, showing us 88 reasons why the rapture would happen in 1988. Maybe we all missed the rapture.
