Stephen King knows a strong narrative when he sees one.
The prolific author got on a roll Thursday night, writing that he sees the war in Ukraine as being fueled in part, by a desperate, aging autocrat’s jealousy over a younger, more charismatic leader representing good in the world.
King’s version of events paints Russia’s Vladimir Putin, 69, as an evil character at war with himself as much as he is with 44-year-old Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
