Maybe even more than the Empire, the only hope for men as of now. Since chances of Ulfric winning against the Thalmor are slim, even if he wins, let's see him take on the Third Aldmeri Dominion afterwards. Your point is...?

The Aldmeri Dominion is as weakened as the Empire, thanks to their surprise assault retaking the Imperial City from the Aldmeri Dominion. Which led to the White-Gold Concordat.

Hence many expeculate if the Empire is working behind the scenes in building an army strong enough to counter the Third Aldmeri Dominion as far as retaking Elsweyr and Valenwood from them.

Which in my mind, will be the plot of the sixth game taking place in Valenwood and/or Elsweyr. If the time leap isn't too far apart from Skyrim's.
