Okay the Empire doesn't 'help' the Thalmor. They allow the Thalmor to simply carry out the terms of the WGC and hence maintain the peace. If the Stormcloaks won, there wouldn't be a joint Imperial-Thalmor invasion of Skyrim. I know this because the Thalmor clearly state in Ulfric Stormcloaks Dossier that a Victory of either side is to be avoided, so why fight with the Empire? If your concerned with those helping the Thalmor, point at Ulfric. They name him as an 'asset' for weakening the Empire. Go man!
