Galmar say stormcloak is getting massacre = empire win (Thats why he is absolutely right). This is is a civil war, there will be divided sides and economical crisis. Besides independant countries are never weak ( stormcloaks ) and united countries need someone to compromise ( empire ).

Independant Skyrim may be weaker in the short term without the empire's legion, but definitely stronger long term ( Self sufficient economy and military ). Besides, they can still remain with the empire but force the empire to come up to their terms.

Empire is not doing well due to weak emperor, however keeping Skyrim may give them enough time until a more capable leader takes over. In the meantime, its important for empire to maintain the peace and the nords to compromise their beliefs and tradition.
