1) Thalmor plotted the war of skyrim and the empire. Ulfric is Jarl of Windhelm, he didnt drew them there. ( Indirectly he drew the empire and the thalmor by worshipping talos and liberating the reach. )

The Redguards fought for their independance so they still have a land to call their own. ( The empire gave their lands to the thalmor. )

2) Unpaid Legate... exchange a sword for skyrim is a good trade.

3) Forsworn took the land from the nords to call their own. Nords are proud people, they will fight for their land. If werent for Ulfric, the empire would have given it to the Forsworn or Aldmeri Dominion for peace.

4) Ulfric is fighting for skyrim and Tullius is trying to restore peace in the empire's provinces. Its even okay to let thalmor capture and kill anyone they "suspected" worshipping Talos.

Regardless of Stormcloak Victory or Tullius Victory the empire loses. Dragonborn kills the emperor and the empire is left without a leader.
