To keep it short. A Jet engine does neither blow or suck or anything else, it work by accelerating mass, in most cases air. The acceleration of air backwards, causes and equal and oppesite force forwards ei. thrust, if anyone thinks they have heard this before , its probably because you have heard of Newtons third law of physics: " An action causes and equal and opposite reaction"
