Brunwulf Free-Winter is the only one who said that, and I think he's an Imperial Spy. How did General Tullius know exactly who he was, and that he would even make a good Jarl? Also, Ulfric actually sends out a bounty on a giant that's attacking travlers. So he did help them. I already refuted the Argonian argument.

The Redguards suffered great losses as well, not only that they were in a civil war just before the Great War started. So they were by no means in good condition. Elves reproduce slower then humans, so it's very likely they made very little recoveries in these 25 years.

But the Empire is the one keeping them down. It forced Skyrim into this position, or atleast that's what I believe.

The Dominion put almost all their soldiers in their attack on Cyrodiil. It was the largest army ever assembled by Elves. But every Dominion soldier in Cyodiil was killed. Not even all the Elves on the Summerset Isles support them so this had to have taken the toll of their army.
