Yes they were rivals, especially during the cold war, but during the cold war Russia was part of the Soviet Union, it was the leading and by far the most dominant state, therefore it is correct to say that Russia itself rivaled the US. For the US it was important to rival Russia because if Russia invaded and took over Europe, US would find itself in a very bad situation.

Why is it that Russia has so many nukes but if North Korea had a single nuke US would attack?
