I can't quote everyone, so I'll answer everything at once:

1st: Signing a peace treaty isn't surrendering. Signing the White-Gold Concordat was. It was the only way for the Empire to survive, otherwise they would be completely crushed by the Dominion.

2nd: The "friends" would be the Empire and it's people. The kidnapper(does that word even exist? Sorry I'm not a native english speaker) would be the Aldmeri Dominion. The one who gets the gun would be the Empire and it would shoot his friend(the people).

3rd: The Stormcloaks are right ideologically. Or you're going to say that they are wrong in demanding the worship of Talos to be permitted again? They may not be right in trying to make Skyrim independent from the Empire, but that is not what I said.

4th: These weren't "decisions that he didn't live up to". Ulfric never intended to become a Greybeard, he studied with them, that is true, but he was a soldier, not some scholar/follower of the Way of The Voice. He took the fight against the Thalmor during the Great War.

5th: My point was that Ulfric said they WILL take the fight against the Dominion. How he would be able to achieve such a seemly-impossible victory no one knows. That'd be up to Bethesda. All I know is that being the man that he is he wouldn't say something like if he didn't knew what he was saying.

Finally, to the guy who talked about irony, I suggest you read my 3rd point again.
