Skyrim belongs to the nords, not some selfish, scared of Thalmor, imperial who thinks he's better than his people.

Join the Stormcloaks, the true sons and daughters of Skyrim, plain and simple.

Ulfric is considered an asset to the Thalmor. The Thalmor want Skyrim too in as little stability as possible. I truly wish it was not the case, but in order to rid Skyrim of an innement invasion, siding with the Imperials is the best bet. The Empire is a larger asset to the Aldmeri Dominion.
