Whether the points I raise are valid or not I believe that if the Thalmor can CRUSH The Imperial Legion, a much more disciplined and trained force than the Stormcloaks, a rag tag guerilla force, Ulfric doesn't stand a chance when The Legion is driven out and there is nothing to keep the Thalmor from coming in in force. And there's the fact that the Nords, especially in Windhelm, treat immigrants like trash, so they aren't exactly going to rise up and help the Stormcloaks( At least I wouldn't). And although the cause is certainly right ( at least the Talos part ) you have to understand the reasons that the White-Gold Concordant was signed, of course it may seem cowardly from Your or My point of view, but Mede signed it to prevent further unnecessary deaths of his people, I mean not everybody is willing to almost fanatically lay down they're lives if they can help it. And of course I am far from biased, but you need to remember that Skyrim isn't the only country that has problems, the Nords need to look at the big picture. And I believe that Ulfric only wants the power from being High King of Skyrim, and there's the fact that he is rather racist from my point of view which may be wrong, and he just doesn't strike me as the open-minded, tolerant, type. In the end you need to remember its the Thalmor that have been the instigators and source of Tamriel's problems. At least acknowledge that and that the Empire is doing the best it can and honestly, if I wasn't some hero, Dovahkiin, or some kind of demi-god and just a regular joe, I don't think I could've done better.
