Most likely the USSR because of many reasons. They were communist, we were capitalist. We both possessed about 30,000 nukes by the 1980's that we threatened to use on each other. We both engaged in many competitions such as the space race. Some beleive that China was our main rival but China did not have as near as much nuclear weapons as us and their economy was not as near as strong as it is today.
