Not only you all begin the discussion already biased to the Imperials, you try to prove to yourselves that you're right.

Of course, you do have a point. The Empire has a much greater chance(which is still pretty low) to defeat the Dominion in a war than the Stormcloaks do. But, that Empire surrended to the Thalmor, turning against it's own people. You may say that it had to be done in order to survive, '''but the ends don't justify the means. '''

It's like if you and a friend got kidnapped, then the guy who kidnapped you gives you a gun and say "kill your friend or I'll kill you both".

Comes the end of the day, the Stormcloaks are right. Wheter they should do what is right or not is the actual problem.

As a side note, it should be noted that Ulfric isn't a fool. If the Stormcloaks win the civil war, he says they WILL take the fight against the Dominion. He wouldn't be such idiot to make such a decision unless he knew what he was doing. Signing a treaty isn't surrendering.

No it's not, unless if you can explain who this friend would be in the Empire's situation.

How are the Stormcloaks right?

Ulfric has taken multiple decisions that he later didn't live up to, joining the Legion, joining the Greybeards, why would he keep his promise this time? Not to forget that neither Nortwatch keep nor the Embassy are attacked by Ulfric.
