Keynote Address on the future of American Foreign Policy from renowned Surgeon and United States Senator for Kentucky, Rand Paul, at the "Up From Chaos: Conserving American Security" Conference in Washington D.C.
Setting the Stage:

Their failures led to costly misadventures in the Middle East, dire miscalculations in Europe, and irresponsible naïveté in East Asia.

Up from Chaos: Conserving American Security is a partnership between The American Conservative and American Moment to chart a path forward for conservative foreign policy in the 21st century.
