On what issue is Hillary better than Bernie?

[Armstead]

85. That is not totally correct

If you look at Sanders past he has actually been quite engaged in internatonal affairs. In fact he was criticized in Burlington for being too focused on them sometimes as mayor.

He has been active in issues of war and peace since he was young, including opposition to Reagan's Latin American interventionism. He has a very extensive knowledge and perspective on the subject.

Now, one might not like his perspective. He is basically opposed to what used to be called American Imperialism, and our tendency to decide what's best for other nations despite what they want. he does not want America sending troops in needlessly -- especially when the primary purpose is to protect the interests of American corporations.

It is up to individuals to decide whether he is TOO much of "peacenik" for the current world or if is would be a necessary check on the excesses that led to things like invading Iraq.

Legitimate subject for debate. But you are mischaracterizing him when you say he has no qualifications or knowledge regarding international affairs.
