The Thalmor are benefitting from Ulfric and his actions, so would winning the civil war on the side of the Stormcloaks actually 'stick it to the Thalmor.' What I meant was, based off of how they claim a "Stormcloak victory is to be avoided", it seems like they simply want war.

They also don't want an Imperial victory. They want the Empire and the Jarls to waste time, men, and resources in this war so that it will be easier to conquer Skyrim and the Empire. This war that the Stormcloaks started is helping the Thalmor which is why I joined the Empire.
