Is the USA mentioned in the Bible? I've dug up at least one reference that may be a candidate.

Jeremiah 6:21-23 


  Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish. Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.


I've heard some say this verse is talking about the nation of Russia rising against Israel, and that the 'great nation' that is 'raised from the sides of the earth' is a allusion to the United States.


Are there any other verses that people have cited as evidence the USA is mentioned in the Bible?
Is there anyone (denominations/prominent individuals) who believes that the USA is mentioned in the Bible?
What are the arguments for or against this reference (or any other)?
The passage is most likely referring to the nation of Babylon.

Per ESV Study Bible Note:


  Jer. 6:22–23 great nation. Babylon. the farthest parts of the earth. Babylon’s army had outposts all over the ancient world. This army has no mercy; its horses are so numerous that their thundering hoofs sound like the roaring sea (4:13, 29).
