What's truly short sighted is letting the empire get away with treating its citizens like disposable tools. If the empire wins out in the end they'll think "I can treat the provinces with as much betrayal, bigotry, and neglect as I want and I'll still win!". Letting them win here will set the dangerous precedent that it's perfectly alright to treat the citizens like crap.
