OK this is what I got from playing through the Civil War & talking to a lot of people in game. No body in the Empire support the Thalmor or the treaty. Most if not all still secretly warship Talos & are only using the treaty to build up an Army behind the Thalmor’s back so they can come up & Stab them in the back when the time is right. Plus Ulfric was Broken by the Thalmor & is their puppet even if he doesn’t realize it. You find that out when you are snooping around the Embassy.

General Tullius tells you the Empire is biding their time until they can catch the Thalmor with their pants down & wipe them out. Plus if you kill Ulfric before the final fight with Alduin He is in Sovngarde & talks about how he almost ruined Skyrim with his war. He Prolly only lets the Dragonborn join his army for the power. Ulfric fighting to warship Talos is a good one but he is going about it all wrong & is short sited He is doing what the Thalmor want him to do.
