Ulfric doesn't want to wipe out the Thalmor, he just wants to keep them out of Skyrim, which I believe an independent Skyrim is capable of. That counts as a Skyrim victory and a Thalmor defeat. Don't come to me saying that Skyrim couldn't do it because it's divided, the Redguards have been divided, even within the Empire, almost since they first set foot on Tamriel. One civil war in Skyrim is nothing compared to that. Nothing knits a divided nation together so quickly than invaders. Also, don't say that Redguards are much better warriors than Nords, as if we are speaking in lore terms, Nords have more experience fighting invaders and in game terms, Nords have more warrior bonuses, in Skyrim at least.

Also, not trying to offend you here, but for future reference, it is better to say "Redguard" or "Rag'ada" when describing a native of Hammerfell, it is more fitting than "Hammerfellian". When describing someone who lives in Hammerfell but is not necessarily a native, then you say "From Hammerfell" and when describing the country as a whole you obviously say "Hammerfell". Also, remember it's "Nordic" not "Nordish". :)
