What jokes in history can be called "international jokes"?

There are many international jokes. For example, the Italian army placed explosives in a church and escaped enemy air strikes, but was struck by lightning and exploded; the British army and the Italian army were powerful in the Central African campaign. The Italian army with an advantage actually surrendered with a white flag on the grounds that they did not have a crowbar and could not open the ammunition box, etc., and there are many more. Is there a catchphrase? How to say it: What an international joke. Haha, let me combine history and the world to show you the ugliness.

The term "international joke" comes from the fact that when the American U-2 reconnaissance plane planned to conduct a secret reconnaissance mission to the Soviet Union, it was unfortunately shot down by the Soviet Union and their pilot, Powers, was captured alive. When the Soviet Union announced the incident to the outside world at the time, it did not disclose that Bowles was still alive. The Americans thought that the plane had the ability to explode on its own, but now that the plane crashed and everyone died, they can't find any evidence. He refused to admit it, hid his espionage activities against the Soviet Union, and lied that the plane was a weather survey plane that got lost due to an oxygen failure.

Later he was shocked by his shocking remarks (Khrushchev): He said that he deliberately concealed the news of the driver’s survival just to see how many stupid things Americans could say. Moreover, the wreckage of the plane was also intact. Are you surprised and embarrassed?

During the war, the Italian army once failed to find a suitable explosives depot, thinking that churches would generally not be attacked by air raids, and then implemented this naive idea and concentrated more than 100 tons of explosives. At the Church of San Nazzaro, which is the center of the city. Guess what the result was. The result was that although the church peak was not attacked by the enemy, it was struck by lightning. It exploded immediately and the city suffered heavy losses...

The second is that in World War II, the location was In North Africa, there were very few tanks (British Army) charging towards the anti-tank gun position (Italian). The Italian Army fired back at the beginning, but then stopped. They raised the white flag and surrendered to the British Army! Guess why? The Italians replied that they had forgotten the crowbar, and without it the ammunition box could not be opened!"
