I don't know where Warren stands. But given their backgrounds and histories on this issue, I think it is reasonable to believe that she is less committed. At the same time, I don't think we can actually know with certainty how either of them will operate once in power.

I think I'm on record as saying that Bernie has far and away the best foreign policy of any of the candidates. That's the best reason to vote for him (the second best is that he's likely to do the best in the general of any of the left-of-center candidates).
