The question does not make sense for me: TV series are supposed to go on forever in the background, you just tune in and tune out depending on how interesting things are and how much free time you have. I don't remember any finale, even the ones I think I saw
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

In implementation of Trump plans to invade and occupy Greenland, billionaire Trump loyalist Ron Lauder has launched a program of quietly acquiring control of major Greenland corporations.

Putin has been famously reticient about targeting Zelensky or breaking international law till now of course.
What a great day for Vladimir Putin! I can picture him in the Kremlin, watching the EU & the UK play dumb while Trump trashes Int. Law, their media reporting Maduro's abduction as an 'arrest'. I bet he's thinking: Should I also detain Zelensky and subject him to Russian justice?

Sure, but consider the possibility Trump does not in fact know a single thing about the oil market, and the Scheming Viziers (who have their own reasons to want war with Venezuela) are using oil as their way to sell him on this.

Plausible worst case scenario with Venezuela in four steps:
1. Rubio and Venezuelan exiles sell the idea of decapitation strikes against Maduro to Trump as the one big thing that solves Venezuela, cartels and Cuba for the US.

“Now let us consider the responsibility of academia in all these debates. Just imagine: From 1970 to 1980, US universities produced 900 books (roughly 90 per year) in the so-called field of Soviet and Slavic studies (colonial name, of course), and only 3% of them focused on non-Russians.”
