Mutual hatred isnt enough to forge an alliance. Ulfric's Nords don't like Redgards all that much, and the Redgards of Hammerfell don't care much for anyone at all. just because they each also hate the same group of elves doesnt mean either of them is going to approach the other for help.

Do you know what the meaning of the word alliance is?

Yes, mutual hatred and a sense of betrayel are enough to form alliances.
