"Burma, now known as Myanmar." Yeah, she went there.

Earth to Hillary: It is only known as "Myanmar" by the outgoing dictatorship, much like Cambodia was only called "Kampuchea" by the Khmer Rouge. Okay, keep running on your creds as SoS.

North Korea is called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, officially--that doesn't make it so, either.

Sanders couldn't find Burma on a map--his frame of reference is likely "Burma Shave."
