Learn to press enter. I can't read that shit.

You need to get over the whole "there is no right choice" thing. It makes for a better, more in-depth, more thought-provoking story. If you want zero moral ambiguity, go play Call of fucking Duty.

Now, on to your points:
 * 1. Yes. He was tortured. That means that the Thalmor are dicks. We knew that already.
 * 2. We know about the Void Nights. The explanation is that, while the Thalmor did not cause them, they did take credit for restoring the moons, so that the Khajiit would follow them.
 * 3. Get over it. The best stories are not so black-and-white. And Skyrim's a pretty good story. If it's that big a deal to you, you shouldn't be playing Bethesda games (or modern RPGs in general).
 * 4. The Empire is falling apart. I imagine most of those legions have been wiped out. They certainly aren't a strong, powerful country.
 * 5. What's your point? It's like you're arguing with yourself. "He shouted the King to pieces!" "No he didn't!" "Yes he did!" What are you trying to say? Use your words! And why can you assume that the court wizard is unbiased? I get that, since you play a mage, you feel the need to look down on other people's not-magic characters, but wizards can have just as many political aspirations as anyone else.

And finally: No, he's not, since the Empire bent over for the Dominion; the Stormcloaks have mages, dumbshit; there are only three Stormcloaks I can think of that fit that description (Ulfric's not one of them), and it's not as if elf-hatred is confined to the Nords (Cough Redguards, cough Bretons); stubbornness is an asset in a civil war; and Jesus God no they aren't, and the reasons why have been covered in enough depth to crush a bathysphere.
