The fact is that like Jarl baalgruf(i think i might have wrote that wrong) sayd the nords are the empire they founded it and they should fight for it not against it. If the empire leaves them the Dominion have an excuse to atack skyrim and do you think that they would be nice as to wait for them to recover from the civil war. no they would atack while they are weak. They slaughtered their own people to assert theyr dominance the dominion would be more than happy to kill every one in skyrim. if the other provinces of the empire hadn't schimed from it im sure that the thalmor would have been anhilated(hope i wrote that right).
