I consider Ulfric to be very intelligent and strategist. He wouldn't say such a thing if he couldn't do it. It's still hard to believe, though. How do the Stormcloaks get to the Dominion to assult them? (as previously mentioned) they are not a standing army, and I have never seen any information that Skyrim has a naval force. If they try and march South, they're marching right into Cyrodiil, who they just finished killing a bunch of legionnaires, so it wouldn't be the safest course of action. The last option is to wait for the dominion to come to them, but Ulfric mentions, when he is at the height of his power, they could not handle a full scale invasion. quote: "We're ready to march on Solitude, but the Emperor's visiting! The goddamned Emperor! And, as much as I'd like to kill the man myself, we can't risk an all out war with the Empire. We'll bide our time for now..." If he admits to not being able to handle an all out war with the Empire, how does he handle one with the Dominion, especially after the Dragon Crisis and the Vampire Crisis? I said they would eventually assault the Aldmeri Dominion. I remember seeing Ulfric himself say this in-game, I just can't remember when. Of course it would take a lot of time for the Stormcloaks to even stand a chance. But then again, Ulfric would not say such a thing unless he knew he could do it.

As I said before, the Dominion is a common enemy for both the Empire and the Stormcloaks. I wouldn't be surprised if they in the future future did a "The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend" sort of pact.
