O.K., I got two things to say: Firstly, Ulfric isn't being manipulated by the Thalmor. Ever since he became Jarl of Windhelm he stopped seeing Thalmor contacts, and blocks any attempt at contact, ergo he isn't under their heel anymore.

Second, I fight for the Empire because they look like romans :P
