I would have sided with the Legion but sadly they have been taking over by the Dominion. All other Towers are down except snow throat and the only person protecting that is Talos and the current dragonborn. These are the statues and shrines all over skyrim by the way. With the Thalmore/imperial Legion winning skyrim, all mans hope and very being begins to fade.

Theres no denying the Thalmore admitted they don't want either side to win in the journal for Ulfric. But lets be honest here what happens when the imperials are in charge. Notice this with the peace treaty on, this is from legate Fasendil;

''Ulfric and thugs are stirring up trouble for their own agenda. The Empire is the only thing keeping the Dominion from walking all over Skyrim. It matters little if some of the people here are ignorant to that truth. They are still citizens of the Empire. It's our solemn duty to protect them."''

''Notice he said The Empire is the only thing keeping the Dominion out of skyrim, then stating that skyrim is apart of the Empire. Which mean that the Thalmore would or already in skyrim killing the masses. This statment also points out the lie. Take for instance his statment after the above.''

"Back in 42 I was stationed in Hammerfell, on leave in Sentinel, trying to track down some refugee relatives who had fled persecution in Alinor. Suddenly an explosion of magic in the refugee quarter. Thalmor mages were attacking the Altmer dissidents who were resisting with magic of their own. I ran to the scene with other Legionaries who where stationed there, but the entire quarter was a smoking ruin by the time we arrived. Everyone was dead. Wholesale slaughter. The Dominion, not content with killing dissidents at home, came to Hammerfell to finish the job. We're supposedly at peace now. But I put in to be stationed here to keep an eye on the Thalmor. I've a feeling they're behind this unrest in Skyrim."

''See. Even before Ulfric rebeled. In addition to this the Empire is no help in terms of having these villains put down, in terms of them being there after the reunifaction of skyrim. Lets also not forget the npcs that support the Dominion and the legion. Npcs like Erikuir, Maven, Elisif and Siddgeir would sell skyrim and theres no denying that.''

''The Thalmore have infiltrate the Empire in all it's aspects and paid off the right people, they are both like a cancer spread and a massive brain tumor. Once taking out, a large chunk of the body goes with it killing the person, leaving it in just grants a slow painful death. ''

''The really sad part about the Empire is that, Cyrodill as in the whole province is in strife. Thats the words out of Cicero not me. Addon to this Hammerfell, the Summerset isles, Valenwood and now Skyrim both the Dominion and the Empire are stretched thin in almost the all countrys. Making them weak and easy pickings for everybody that wants them died. Notice also that the stormcloaks get more support by the day. (Rikke) The stormcloaks are finding victory across the land. (Jorleif)''

''Curoption can't beat curroption. The Empire can't beat the Dominion since they became one.''

U know the funny part about this topic 

''Research landfall. They clearly states "only" in the late 5th Era that the thalmore get to finally destroy all towers. Buttttttttttt Talo's Numidum was there skipping through time and used his ability to wipe out the entire Altmer race and everybody else went back to being little gods on the Moon or in Heaven. So the Thalmore eventually fail in the sense that they don't get to turn into little gods. Landfall also points out that since it takes the Dominion till the late 5th Era to be killed by the same Numidum from Talos, that the Stormcloaks did win that civil war (for a time) an the tower was kept in place for a long time. Just saying. cough cough. nodge nodge.''
