Most of your points I don't agree with.

Titus Mede II is probably disliked by many people around Tamriel, the idea that everyone would think Ulfric regardless of proof is just absurd. and it doesn't change what I said about both sides benefitting from the trading, especially the Empire.

You have to consider that Ulfric is going into a war after Skyrim's independence, he also wants to win the war I.E. he might want help from trade. He merely doesn't want Skyrim to be a province in the Empire anymore, he has never stated he wants to completely ignore them.

That is completely false. The Stormcloaks could probably beat the Dominion alone, due to how badly they were wounded in the Great War, and since Elves reproduce slower they've probably barely recovered at all. In addition, the Stormcloaks could team with many other nations like Hammerfell, Morrowind, and High Rock.
