Russia has major supplies of important resources like oil, gas, metals etc. Its also a fact that Russia has its own distinct culture, which defies the us empire on the world stage.
There is also some historical background from the rivalry between orthodox religion and catolicism, but this might be less relevant today (who knows).
I think this is close to the real answer. Russia is a “threat” to world domination by the U.S.('s culture). Russia has important, critical resources and isn’t in the “american sphere of influence”. Russia also can’t be ignored or invaded like many other countries.
