I would like to point out that while the Nords have been fighting Elves for millennia, the major fights with mer have never been this unbalanced before, the first fight with the Falmer was against a relatively small community and the Aylieds (spelled wrong I know) weren't much different, this however is the first time in millennia that the Altmer have so much influence, and so much power, seriously read Mixed Unit Tactics and tell me you want to go against Khajit the size of Mammoths. They have 3 countries worth of manpower and resources at their disposal while Skyrim just has one, that has just suffered a very bloody civil war that weakened itself and the Empire as a whole. I know you may say "They could join with Hammerfell", but I would suggest looking more in depth as to why the Redguards won, it was a combination of their physical combat prowess and guerilla warfare in an unforgiving terrain, also note that the Dominion was never "officially" beaten they simply pulled out because they were taking more losses than it was worth, and we are not talking about the full strength of the Dominion, and a large portion of the country was razed, now I'm going to say that I do believe Skyrim could fight off the Dominion should they try to invade Skyrim, but then what after that? Guerilla tactics are very effective if used effectively, but aren't worth jacksh!t in an unfamiliar area. All I see is that the a relatively united Empire is the only one with enough resources and manpower to have a chance, that and I don't exactly like the recent and past actions of the Nords or Ulfric's.
