Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., speaks to reporters in front of federal court in Washington on Feb. 12.

It is one of those primary tenets of the Republican party: a strong, robust, well-funded military and the willingness to deploy it are a critical part of national security.

But Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who speaks to activists at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Thursday, has long felt it's time to re-examine that approach.

In less than four years in the Senate, Paul has emerged as a prominent new face of the GOP and a contender for the 2016 presidential nomination. But his libertarian philosophy sets him apart from the rest of the field.

It's still unclear how GOP voters will respond to Paul's views on foreign policy and his belief that the US has been far too quick to exert its military influence through force.

"People sometimes ask me what is my worldview? My response is that, you know, even if you've crisscrossed the globe, even if you've been everywhere, I'm just not sure that the world doesn't change by the time you return to the same spot twice. I am a believer that foreign policy must be viewed by events as they present themselves, not as we wish them to be," Paul said, in a speech earlier this year at the Center for the National Interest.

"I believe the answers to most problems that confront us around the world can and should be approached by engaging, both friend and foe. You know, I'm not naive enough to say that dialogue is always gonna work," he said.

To hear a member of the Paul family challenge conventional GOP thinking on foreign policy is hardly new. His father, former Congressman Ron Paul, sought the Republican nomination in 2008 and again in 2012.

In an interview with New Hampshire TV station WMUR during the last campaign, Ron Paul was asked about bringing U.S. troops home.

Unfortunately, others get involved and it seems like its irresistible for the US to be involved.

A former American presidential hopeful and a veteran Republican lawmakersays that his country should not meddle in the internal affairs of Ukraine.

Ron Paul, also a physician and author who served as the US Representative for Texas and retired from Congress last year after more than a quarter-century, believes that theres no sense in getting involved in standoff over the crisis-hit nation.

I dont think we have any business there, Paul told RT from his office in Texas this week.

I think it would be nice if we considered the Ukrainians. Its their civil strike, their civil war, and deciding who to run that country should be left to them, Paul said.

Unfortunately, others get involved and it seems like its irresistible for the US to be involved.

We certainly dont want to send troops in right now, he said, adding that trying to help the new pro-Western Ukrainian officials by any financial aid would be impossible.

We are out of money, he said, so this idea that we are going to start bailing out Ukraine is total nonsense.

The administration of President Barack Obama has announced plans for providing Ukraine with an aid package of $1 billion as tensions continue to rise between Russia and the US over the crisis in the country.

The White House says it will work with Congress to provide the money to Ukraines new government following the ouster of the countrys pro-Russian President, Viktor Yanukovych. Congress has said it will begin working on the aid package next week.

Posted: 6:18 AM Updated: 6:20 AM The Republican senator and tea party favorite is seriously considering a run for the White House in 2016.

By BRUCE SCHREINER

FRANKFORT, Ky. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul faces a potential quandary as he weighs whether to run for president in 2016 or focus solely on re-election to his Senate seat. Legislation introduced Thursday in his home state would allow him to run for both.

The measure would clarify that current Kentucky law, which prevents someone from running for multiple offices, does not apply to federal elections, said state Senate Majority Leader Damon Thayer.

His bill would allow Kentucky candidates names to appear twice on the same ballot if one or both offices sought are federal offices.

He (Paul) is the impetus for it, but it could affect anyone in the federal delegation, said Thayer, R-Georgetown, who introduced the bill in the GOP-led Kentucky Senate.

Thayer said he was approached by Pauls staff about the legislation and later spoke several times with Kentuckys freshman senator about it. He waited until the last day bills could be introduced in the Senate in the current session to bring it forward. The 60-day session is two-thirds complete.

Paul, a Republican who rose to national prominence as a tea party favorite, is seriously considering a run for the White House in 2016. The son of ex-U.S. Rep. and former presidential candidate Ron Paul has visited early primary and caucus states to gauge support for his own possible presidential run.

He also will be up for re-election to the Senate in 2016. Paul has said he has not made any decision about running for president.
