stormcloaks suck, ulfric is a power hungry usurper hiding behind a naive idea of 'freedom' (hypocritical as well - look at the treatment of dunmer in his city)

all the stormcloaks are doing is dividing skyrim and helping the aldmeri by distracting the empire (who also dislike the aldmeri but lack the ability to get out from under their thumb)... and as you stated, if ulfric does somehow take skyrim then the aldmeri dominion can just waltz in and take it
