In the end, neither leader is willing to work with the other side against the Thalmor. Each is going to try to fight them on their own which is likely going to end at worst badly, or at best worst than it could.

Though hopefully with Mede assassinated, the next Emperor will be willing to pause the Civil War until the Thalmor are defeated. Whether Ulfric would be willing to co-operate is another matter.
