Ulfric is not a good leader. Plain and simple. He IS a racist, just because he lets a few elves live in the nicer parts of the city doesn't mean he isn't. Why doesn't he let the rest of the dunmer move out of the Gray Quarter? Why doesnt he spend some money to fix it up? Also, why are no guards stationed in the Gray Quarter? Its becuase he simply doesn't care about the Dunmer.

Also, look at the situation the Stormcloaks are in. Regardless of who wins the civil war, tens of thousands will have died on botth sides, It will take Ulfric years to restore Skyrim to it's full power, and when he does, he will just blindly attack the Dominion. Galmar himself suggests sailing to the Summerset Isles to fight the Dominion, which would be catastrophic for the Stormcloak army. The Stormcloak army could never beat the Dominion in a one on one war, and before you say Hammerfell did it, at that time the Dominion was weakened and Hammerfell was damaged badly from the Great War, and has just recovered.

Why would Morrowind fight with the Empire? They were decimated by the Red Year and the Argonian invasion. Also, the Empire does not plan to invade morrowind, they are merely using Riften as a base of operations for the scenario that the Empire MAY have to invade Morrowind, which would probally happen only after the second great war.

And lastly, Brunwulf Free-Winter. Brunwulf is a much better jarl than Ulfric could ever possibly hope to be. Both men fought in the Great War, and both bled for the Empire. Yes, i know, Ulfric was tortured. of course he would harbor some resentment to the Dominion for that. But all non Nord races as a whole? Unaccceptable. Brunwulf is a kinder, wiser man than Ulfric, is a man for the equal rights of all races, and would pick up his sword again to fight if he had to, only he is not a war  mongerer like Ulfric.
