I think we should call it "The Tullius Massacre" instead of Civil war in Skyrim. If the stormcloaks are getting massacre then they must have extraordinary recruiting efforts to match the legion. The thalmor aint that stupid to start a civil war and let empire/stormcloaks win. They know the concordant will lead to a civil war and they want to keep it as long as possible until their army takes over the empire. Unless the dragonborn / more capable emperor changes it.

Taking back Skyrim for the empire seems like a safe move against the Thalmor but the Thalmor still have free reign to engineer another rebellion. ( They can kill and capture anyone they like as long as its " Talos Worshipping " and they are immune to the empire's legion. )

Taking back Skyrim for Ulfric seems risky enough as Skyrim will lose the protection from the Empire. But in the long run, Skyrim will have its own army and self sufficient economy. ( As a bonus thalmor are thrown out of the land. )
