Ulfric is right to disagree with the Empire, but he's a fool. He thinks that by kicking out the empire, he will have his precious land back. He won't. Instead, he and all of his buddies and innocent upstarters all get the wrath of the entire damn Aldmeri Dominion. Pratting about and leaving the empire only weakens it and makes Skyrim a target for the Aldmeri. Everyone uniting once again is the only way for the empire to return to its full strength and stop the Aldmeri, THEN everyone can go back to worshipping a man who became a god. That's the greatest logic of it. Stormcloaks win: Stormcloaks and Empire die. Empire win: Stormcloaks (somewhat) survive and Empire survives.
