Why would the Imperials win this time around when they are weaker? The AD would arrive from water or Cyrodiil and it's a priority because of it's location north of Cyrodiil. And if Skyrim stays in the Empire, it can help it get stronger by lending support with troops, position, and resources. If the Empire waits it can be stronger than ever and beat the AD. If the Empire can't win, then all of Tamriel will be kissing the Elves asses soon after.
