One member has been demanding that people identify the countries and nations that were a part of the 2003 Coalition of the Willing invasion of Iraq.
The Coalition of the willing is spoken about in Jeremiah. 50
In the first couple of verses, we are told the following: -
Jer 50:1-3: - Judgment on Babylon and Babylonia
50:1 The word that the Lord spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
In verse three we are told that a nation from the north shall come and make the land of Babylon desolate, but we are not told for how long this desolation will last in these verses. However, in verses 39-40 we are told that the land of Babylon/the Chaldeans will lay desolate and devastated for a period of two ages, which is a little longer than 2,000 years, if we set out to properly unpack the Hebrew text .
Jer. 50:39-40
Then in 1926, the nation of Iraq was established over the Land of Babylon/the Chaldeans, by Brittan and France after WW1 and Babylon was remembered once more before God. Rev. 16:17-21 tells us that this will occur.
And Jeremiah expresses his surprise that the Land of Babylon is again inhabited in the very next verse where we are introduced to the Coalition of the Willing lead predominately by the USA in the lead who in 2003 invaded Iraq and established their dominion over the land of Babylon/The Chaldeans and established a Parliamentary governance system in the land which was in submission to the Coalition of the Willing nations.
Jer. 50:41-42: -
And to establish who the kings are that joined the great nation from the north, one only has to inquire of Wikipedia as to which nations they came from.
It would seem that there were around 20 nations that had a contributing part to the Coalition of the Willing that invaded Iraq, and there were two characteristics associated with each toe which did not mix well together such that the nations did not adhere well with each other and the coalition members began to fall away within a few years of its formation. (Dan. 2:41-43).
As such the Coalition of the willing has associativity with the Statue prophecy and as Babylon was devastated and made desolate of people around the year 120 BC before the formal establishment of the Roman Empire out of the Roman Republic after the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, which was the final conflict within the Roman Republic before the Roman Empire became a reality in the year 27 BC.
With this understanding of the History of Roman Empire, it is difficult to substantiate that the Roman Empire was the fourth segment of the Statue Prophecy. Since the Statue prophecy is not connected in any way with the Beast prophecies of Daniel. 7 nor has the same topology, it is also difficult to make a connection between the roman Empire and the Fourth beast of Daniel 7:1-12, since in verse 14 we are told that the four beasts are four individual king and not people groups, kingdoms or empires as such, although some "scholars" claim that these "kings" represent the manifested people groups, kingdoms and empires that have chosen to live within the respective dominions of the four beasts as such.
Biblical Prophecy and Historical records do confirm that they above is true.

50:1 The word that the Lord spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 "Declare among the nations,
Proclaim, and set up a standard;
Proclaim — do not conceal it —
Say, 'Babylon is taken, Bel is shamed.
Merodach is broken in pieces;
Her idols are humiliated,
Her images are broken in pieces.'
3 For out of the north a nation comes up against her,Proclaim — do not conceal it —
Say, 'Babylon is taken, Bel is shamed.
Merodach is broken in pieces;
Her idols are humiliated,
Her images are broken in pieces.'
Which shall make her land desolate,
And no one shall dwell therein.
They shall move, they shall depart,
Both man and beast.
And no one shall dwell therein.
They shall move, they shall depart,
Both man and beast.

39 "Therefore the wild desert beasts shall dwell there with the jackals,
And the ostriches shall dwell in it.
It shall be inhabited no more forever/for a fixed period of time,
Nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation/for an age plus an age.
40 As God overthrew Sodom and GomorrahIt shall be inhabited no more forever/for a fixed period of time,
Nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation/for an age plus an age.
And their neighbors," says the Lord,
"So no one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.
"So no one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.

41 "Behold, a people shall come from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance;Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
They are cruel and shall not show mercy.
Their voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
