The Thalmor simply don't have the numbers the Empire can muster. The time is on the empire's side, they can replenish much faster than the Summerset Isles can. This seems to be why the Thalmor are so desperate to act in Skyrm. The canon ending of Skyrim isn't established yet though. I have doubts Ulfric could control Skyrim long, he was losing a war against only one legion present in Skyrim.
