Did you not read my earlier post? the Thalmor did not have any significant force, Mede had no reason to sign the WGC, he could have easily sent a force to help the redguards wipe out the AD soldiers in hammerfell and the thalmor would have been stuck in their territory, where if Titus Mede wanted to he could have easily retaken.

The fact that the Thalmor almost took over the Imperial City in the war proves that Mede could not easily sent a force to help the redguards. He sent 90% of all Legion soldiers to the Imperial City to defend it, which is the reason why the Thalmor couldn't take over the Imperial City. But they almost did. And if they would have taken it over all humans in mankind would be doomed. He knew that if the war continued that the Thalmor would eventually find a way to conquer the Imperial City. Mede knew this too. Since he didn't want all of his Legion soldiers to be dead and the capital of the Empire to be in the hands of the enemy, the only way to stop the war, even for a short time, and to save the Empire was to sign the WGC. He did it to buy time and to save mankind.
