"I don't like to insult people or ideas, but that is one of the most idiotic things I've heard." That could have been left out. The Stormcloaks are openly oppressive against the Dunmer. Rolf Stone-Fist, the brother of the rebellion's right-hand man, shows his racism and persecution to everyone in Windhelm. I don't see Hammerfell joining the Stormcloaks since they seem to shun everyone who is not a Nord. The Kajiit are mentioned by multiple characters to be under by Ulfric in his mind, and their relations to any elf are horrible. Ulfric showed his colors to the Bretons during the Markarth incident. Hammerfell has more chance of doing nothing than joining anyone, but this may make them more reluctant to join Ulfric. Key word: May. For the record, most of this thread is speculation. I am just saying that the dragons MAY become a threat later. Just think about it. You know what else you didn't see?

That dragons wouldn't come back with Alduin gone.

Leaving that aside though, Nords don't like non nords ruling skyrim, going into an alliance with hammerfell wouldn't remove any freedom that skyrim has. Don't be shortsighted.
