Even if you don't agree with Hillary Clinton's foreign policy positions, to suggest that she doesn't know foreign policy is weird. She was the last Secretary of State, FFS. As such, she had a strong hand in creating some of the foreign policies in place today.
While I acknowledge Clinton's experience and understanding of foreign policy, I actually agree with Sanders (and Paul and O'Malley) over Clinton when it comes to the U.S. ousting/killing dictators with disregard for unintended consequences, including regional destabilization. That strategy failed in Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and many more countries before. I don't support forced regime change as a pillar of American foreign policy either.
