@Thedoucheinthenorth We aren't talking like the Empire has the resources to defeat the Dominion just that they have the resources to suppress and subdue them so that they are no longer a threat. You also have no way of knowing that the Empire will for sure lose a second Great War or that they will for sure lose Cyrodil again, if anything their chances of holding would be greater in the event that another war breaks out because they'd have time a rebuild and regroup. Alsothe Empire does want to get rid of the Thalmor but now is simply not the time.

If Ulfric really wanted what was best for Skyrim he'd leave those that simply want to be at peace (Whiterun) alone. You also seemed to ignore us when we said that the Empire allows provinces who wish to secede to do so peacefully, therefore if Torygg were to secede from the Empire it's highly unlikely anyone's head would be at risk. Therefore once again had Ulfric simply talked to Torygg and negotiated instead of jumping the gun and killing him instead everything would be perfectly fine, Skyrim would be free and the Empire would be at peace with them.
