For the non-Nord races it might be the a good solution, but Skyrim is for the Nords. Other races are welcome, as long as they earn their place. As I know Galmar and Ulfric well, neither of them ever state marching an Army to Alinor. Ulfric is bold, but he is certaintly not stupid. Sure, he might move a small army into the Pale Pass and spread his men close to the borders, but he is not arrogant enough to attack Summerset itself. If I was Ulfric, I would wait until the AD march an army to Skyrim, and use the tactical advantage of home ground and being able to summon dragons to win the day.

Keeping Skyrim safe from the Aldmeri must come before anything else, regardless of which race you are. As long as you live in Skyrim, then the leader must make preperations to keep it safe from harm. Ulfric would do that, and once he knows the land is safe, he would focus on improving domestic conditions and race relations. Elisif, in my mind would just do what ever the weak Emperor would tell her which would damage Skyrim.

According to Brunwulf, yes, but we all know Brunwulf wants the Empire back for whatever reason. Brunwulf, if Jarl, would only concentrate on the concerns of other races, while his own people wallowed in anguish and frustration of not being listened to by a corrupt, and ultimately weak empire x miles from home, run by wealthy businessmen and lordlings who have no concern at all for the people of Skyrim.

I would like to add you make some good arguments and as such you have earned my respect.
