As baby boomers, we've seen our fair share of international crises. From the Cuban Missile Crisis to the fall of the Berlin Wall, we've lived through it all. But let's be honest, some of these crises have been more entertaining than others.

Take the 1973 oil crisis, for example. Remember when gas prices skyrocketed and we all had to start driving our cars less? Well, it turns out that the crisis was caused by a group of Arab oil producers who were upset with the United States for supporting Israel. Who knew that something as seemingly mundane as gas prices could become an international incident?

Or how about the 1983 Grenada invasion? When a group of Marxist revolutionaries took over the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada, President Ronald Reagan sent in the Marines to restore order. The invasion was a success, but it also led to the deaths of 24 American soldiers. And all because some guys in Grenada wanted to nationalize the country's nutmeg industry. Seriously? Nutmeg?

Of course, not all international crises are so amusing. The 1994 Rwandan genocide, for example, was a horrific event that resulted in the deaths of over 800,000 people. And the ongoing conflict in Syria has created a humanitarian crisis that has displaced millions of people.

But even in the midst of these tragedies, there are often moments of levity. Like the time that a group of Russian soldiers got lost in the Ukrainian wilderness and ended up surrendering to a goat. Or the time that a group of Chinese tourists got stuck in a traffic jam in Moscow and started singing karaoke.

The point is, even the most serious international crises can have their funny moments. So next time you're feeling down about the state of the world, just remember that there's always something to laugh about.

**Here are a few more of our favorite international crisis bloopers:**

* In 1956, during the Suez Crisis, a group of British soldiers got lost in the desert and ended up surrendering to a camel.
* In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a group of Soviet sailors got drunk and started dancing on the deck of their submarine.
* In 1979, during the Iranian hostage crisis, a group of American hostages escaped from their captors by dressing up as women.
* In 1991, during the Gulf War, a group of American soldiers got lost in the desert and ended up being captured by a group of Iraqi children.
* In 2003, during the Iraq War, a group of American soldiers got lost in the desert and ended up being captured by a group of Iraqi goats.

So there you have it. Even in the darkest of times, there's always something to make us laugh. So next time you're feeling down about the state of the world, just remember that there's always a goat to surrender to.
