Correct answer:

2) Vietnam

Step-by-step explanation:

The Washington Post reported in 1988, after the USSR had been struggling in its war with the Afghans for nearly a decade: "Afghanistan is Russia's Vietnam -- possibly with even greater consequences for the Soviet Union." Much like the United States struggled in unfamiliar territory against a highly motivated enemy in Vietnam, the USSR found it could not win in Afghanistan.
