Given that Trump appears to be doing Putin's bidding, that makes them instantly a major power. Trump is meeting with Putin without any representatives from Ukraine or Europe, and claiming that Ukraine is at fault for getting invaded and should just surrender everything to Putin. Since Trump seems to be adversarial to China but very friendly if not outright subservient to Russia, it makes the China-Russia dynamic profoundly different. I suspect if China invaded Taiwan Trump would shrug, but if China threatened Russia that Trump would come to Russia's aid.
