Jones on the Ukraine War: The Irony Here Is that the U.S. Has Lost No Soldiers

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
 GIGOT: “What is your response to  critics who say you are  describing a permanent, endless  war of attrition even if we  supply weapons to Ukraine  Russia has this backing.  the war will never end.  they force a negotiation like  Donald Trump says.”

Jones: “We are not hearing from the  Russian side any interest in  negotiating.  it’s a fools errand to push for  negotiation when neither side  wants it.  second of all, what we are  seeing is a war right now where  defense has the advantage.  it will be hard for the  Russians to take territory  quickly.  those who argue the Russians  are going to win this.  the us had multiple charges in  Afghanistan.  and the Russians themselves in  Afghanistan.  the irony here is the us  launched no soldiers, no  airmen, no sailors during this  war.  Russians, hearing numbers of  350, 400,000 casualties.  these are extraordinary, half  of their tanks, the costs for  the us are quite low.  any us president during the  cold war has the choice of  rushing — weakening the  Russian military.”
