They already f**ked with the Empire and gave an Ultimatum saying that they will before they f**k them and is still f**king with them by making them follow their Concordat (pardon my language)and if the Empire is just biding its time well they took to long now they don't have an Emperor the whole reason why the Empire was so weak by the end of the Oblivion Crisis was because their was no Emperor in power so any province that was not a Human just left and now that is happening again at the worst most possible moment and you think the Thalmor wont take advantage of this they would have a field day ripping the Empire apart this is exactly the thing the Thalmor would want to look for to defeat the Empire theSkyrim civil war was one thing but this would out shine that completely regardless if the Empire would retain Skyrim.
