Dani-Mike War

Dani-Mike War
----------------------------------------------------
The Dani-Mike War (May 26, 2010 – present), also known as First Mike-Dani crisis, is an ongoing conflict, that began with the invasion of Mike by Dani.

The attacks
----------------------------------------
Before the war, both persons happen to share a peaceful, helpful and prosperous relationship based on peace and care, not only for each-other, but including friends too.

May 26 attacks

On May 26, 2010, tensions raised between the two during a friendly dinner, when Dani allegedly claimed that she had possession of HWs (Hybrid Weapons) and the ability to use them. While questioned about it, it posed a threat to Mike's security, even though they were close friends at the time. On the same day however, without any warning, Dani demonstrated what she early stated by performing a surgical strike on Mike with a Vitalis 25cl Water Bottle before his performance, while he was defenceless watching a Scarface.

"I didn't see it coming, I never saw it coming, but the fact is, she did it."

After Mike's stage performance, retaliation manoeuvres were immediately conducted with equal 25cl Water Bottles as an act of self-defence, since no formal statement where made from Dani about the earlier attack.

"I told you I could do it, and I done it. Don't ever underestimate me."

The day ended with an unclear Cease-Fire between them, with both sides showing heavily wet clothes, as the result of the confrontation. Mike stated that the initial attack "was an unjustified act of terrorism" and that " it triggered a war".

August 13 attack

In August 13, 2010, Dani caught Mike off guard and defenceless(sleeping) and took the opportunity to perform another surgical strike with her HWs, this time announcing that "water makes her nervous", thus aggravating the crisis. Unlike previous time, she was short after retaliated with Mike grabbing her leg, but she backfired by throwing sand to his face, making this the first time that Mike directly tried to attack Dani since the beginning of the war. Not whiling to take another hit, Dani was threatened and warned about a very possible "hard retribution" to this act.


Diplomacy
----------------------------------------
Following the initial border-clash, diplomacy relations were cut to zero, while a Cold War atmosphere increased, with both sides on constant watch for possible strikes.


Mike's perspective

Shortly after the initial conflict, Mike officially stated that he was ready to back-fire, but he will resort to diplomacy over violence.

" Since I still don't fully understand the reason or reasons behind the attack (if any), I won't resort to any aggressive action towards her. I'm still waiting for a formal explanation of it and whiling to forgive her, without applying any kind of sanction. [...] Both sides don't win anything by fighting each-other with HWs, so it is only clever to end it ASAP."

Even though resorting to peaceful solutions to the emerging crisis, the possibility of an open armed confrontation was open, depending on Dani's response.

" [...] Yet, if she really wanted to start a war, she will get one. And not a pretty one."

Dani's perspective

When she officially release an explanation to her act of aggression, Dani justified her attack by being a response to the pressure made by Mike, regarding her ability to use HWs.

"He kept saying that I wasn't capable and that I would never do it. I don't like when people underestimate me, so in order to prove them wrong, I let my actions speak louder than words"

Peace/Cease-Fire proposals

In August 15, 2010, Mike presented an Ultimatum to Dani, in order to either declare war or peace. The proposal was composed by three diplomatic options; those were: to declare peace, thus ending the war and rebuild their pre-war policy, without applying any sanction; sign a cease fire until the end of 2010, applying a communication sanction of 1 week (first week of September) or legally declare war. Two days after the proposal, Dani accept the peace proposal, and the HWs conflict was officially over. However, Dani clearly stated that the peace offering is only related to the use of HWs, nothing else.


Criticism
----------------------------------------
Mike has been heavily criticized for not performing any counter-attack until now. In response, he claims that he has "enough resources and fire-power to pull out a massive retaliation blow if it is justified", but he hesitates to attack Dani, simply beacuse he ain't able to "perform any harm to one of the persons I like the most on this planet, if not THE person". Yet, he also stated that "there is a limit", and if it is crossed, "I will be left with no options, but to do something about it; or else, she won't stop".
