He's concentrate on Skyrim, he wouldn't care about Morrowind or Hammerfell. And as for him being weak, he was not in any position to win, in the long run least of all. Both are great factions but their leaders are flawed. And I never said that Ulfric wouldn't be more concerned with Skyrim than anything else. And if Skyrim, Morrowind, Highrock, and Hammerfell forged an alliance with each other and if they were all attacked then it would be up to each nation to defend their homelands since they all have their own armies. Whereas during the Great War and the Oblivion Crisis the Empire had armies of its own to act as the armies of other territories within the it. And during these events the Empire pulled their armies out of the other provinces and in doing so left these territories exposed and left to defend themselves since they didn't have armies of their own. Where as Skyrim, Morrowind, Highrock, and Hammerfell would already have their own armies to deal with their own situation should just one be attacked. And with Mede he was a fool. He fought and bled but in the end he won back the Imperial City and destroyed what was left of the Dominion's forces yet he still sighned the treaty. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_the_Red_Ring
