Skyrim is not Hammerfell, correct, it's vastly different, but still a hostile place for an invading Southern army. You're point is, well, pointless. When Ulfric takes his rightful place as High King, the Altmer will invade and the Nords will push them out. If you had an idea of military realities, you would understand that.

The Nords at the end of the civil war are still stronger than the Redguard were at the end of the Great War.
