I had much more to say on all the recent dialog going on, however it dawned on me you havn't yet made any sort of point on how the stormcloaks would win this war any better. The Empire side argues about needing to be united to face the Thalmor, while the Stormcloaks don't ever say how they'd win (other than pipe dreams of joining hammerfell) they just keep going on and on about how bad the Empire is.

The arguement being referred to was the fact that If Cyrodiil fell, you'd have dominion forces on the border of Skyrim, your "counter argument" is just saying my argument is crap and claiming if they could invade they would. Do you notice a distinct lack of thought in your argument compared to mine? If the dominion gets word Skyrim has officially been lost to the Empire, that severly limits troop movements and alters trade routes from High Rock. Knowing it'll take them longer to mobilize, the Dominion could easily blitzkrieg their way back into the Imperial city, sack it again, and then march on Skyrim to have a better foothold against Hammerfell. You claiming this train of thought is "crap" doesnt invalidate it, I'd suggest you come up with a better counter argument and show some gods damned class next time. What makes the Stormcloaks better? They're not helping the thalmor. They're actually protecting their people instead of helping the Thalmor march them into death camps.

Dominion forces on the border? Really? Would you kindly explain how? Blitz to the imperial city? You DO UNDERSTAND that Cyrodil has THREE LEGIONS ON THE BORDER OF VALENWOOD FOR JUST THAT PURPOSE RIGHT? The dominion and weakened legion forces will destroy each other, with the dominion maybe coming out on top though they'd be in no condition to fight neither Hammerfell nor Skyrim with the forces they'd have left. Hell the dominion forces might not even be in any condition to do that considering their only remaining forces are fresh from a loss in Hammerfell.

The empire has shown more than willing to throw the provinces under the bus for their own selfish needs. Do you REALLY want THAT ruling Tamriel again?
