But I question Ulfric's logic: He would rather attack the Imperials, who probably want to destroy the Thalmor as much as them, then attack the Thalmor who are the source of the problem. If they made a lasting peace treaty then they would have two entire armys to fight the Thalmor with. If Ulfric attacked the Thalmor (like he wants), the Imperials would attack him. Them being in power and both fighting against him, Ulfric would have lost quickly. The Thalmor are like Nazis and the Imperials are like German citizens and soldiers. They know of the atrocities, executions without trial and religious/racial discrimination, but are afraid to fight with Ulfric against a foe who beat them once and is potentially stronger. They're afraid of recieving honorable deaths fighting for what's right. If the Imperials would even try to help it's people, Ulfric wouldn't have even gone for the throne. He's doing what's necessary and taking out the puppets to get to the masters. It's sad that Troygg had to die, but they fought like true Nords and he died with honor. Ulfric's logic isn't perfect, but he's had to compensate for Imperial interferance. Considering all, his logic and stragety are sound. Ulfric is willing to gain Skyrim's freedom or die in the quest.
