2.I don't cherry pick the strong. Empire is weak and corrupt as fuck. Nords been fighting the Empire's wars for years, that's the only reason they've been strong all these years. They followed Tiber Septim because his Empire kept the elves in check, their common enemy. After the Septims died, the Empire became two faced. Started letting Dunmer colonize their lands, even though they never fought for the Empire before. They let the Thalmor hunt their people unopposed. The Empire is weak. The only choice for true Nords is to fight them until they are no more. When the Great War starts again, they'll be fighting a war on two fronts. Stormcloaks aren't weak. Tullius' armor is a trophy in my armory. Empire couldn't even defend Markarth from Forsworn, it was the Stormcloaks who cleaned up their mess. Sold Hammerfell to the Dominion, and the Redguards won back their lands despite being the main objective of the Dominion early in the Great War and having lesser men than Cyrodill. Cyrodill became the target for the Dominion later in the war when they realized how weak and easy the Empire was to steamroll. Think about that, the heart of the Empire was steamrolled by the Dominion. I'll say it again, the Empire is weak as fuck.

I honestly believe the Stormcloaks are ready for endless war. The word "war" in Nord means "season unending". So if the true Nords are true to their traditions, they are ready to topple the Empire with or without Ulfric. And I think Elder Scrolls will be more dynamic that way. 1. By that same logic Ulfric can still be dishonorable af but still get there because his Stormcloaks follow him.

2. Imperial Legion is massacring the Stormcloak rebellion. Fact. Oh please, Nord aren't good at warfare, they're weak. Skyrim even had to be conqeured by Tiber Septim's armies, it didn't join the Empire willingly. The Dunmer did fight for the Empire, there were countless Dunmer Imperial Legion Members in TES III, not to forget that since the Empire is one nation there is no such thing as "Dunmer colonisation", just immigration.

Unopposed? Really now? Did you forget how the Empire doesn't enforce the WGC and that that's why the Thalmor are walking through Skyrim? They're treaty enforcers, the Empire opposes the Thalmor.

Stormcloaks are weak, and yeah, when the bulk of your guard is sent to fight in Cyrodiil, does it surprise you if a couple hundred Reachmen take over a city? Especially when they were also inside the city? Also, the Stormcloaks couldn't defend Markarth either, hence why they were forced out of it by the Empire when the Thalmor "found out" about the Talos worship.

They didn't sell those lands, for they were already conqeured. The Dominion changed goals, it doesn't matter if it was their "first goal", they changed goals when they realised that the Empire was weaker than they thought.

The Empire might be weak, but it's still a damn lot stronger than your petty Stormcloaks.

Oh please, the Stormcloaks care nothing for tradition and without Ulfric their supplies would dwindle, since the Thalmor won't invest in a group of bandits.
