Im not so sure the emperor would be so willing to declare war on the Thalmor. I mean if he had declared war on the Thalmor earlier Ulfric wouldn´t have revolted because by declaring war on the dominion they would bring back the cult of Talos, which would have prevented the Skyrimi civil war and would have Skyrim at nearly its full strength. I think Titus mede is afraid of the Thalmor (at least currently) and would not declare them war just yet. However both Hammerfell and Skyrim (if the stormcloaks win) are openly hostile to Thalmor. And i also believe that many people are overestimating the Thalmor, must I remind you that their entire army was erradicated in Cyrodil? Furthermore I believe a new emperor (whom that could be I dont have the faintest clue) might declare war on the Thalmor (and allying itself with Hammerfell,the remains of Morrowind, and Skyrim (if seceded)). Lastly the argonians could be a possible aldmer ally because it was the Thalmor that incited the Argonian revolution after the Oblivion Crisis.

My two cents.
