Again, you're leaving out the Oblivion Crisis, which left the Legion crippled. Don't pretend the Dominion wouldn't destroy the Empire. They tried in the Second Era. Two eras later, they're trying again. By the way, Mede does not have the Dragonblood, seeing as the Amulet of  Kings was destroyed by Martin (the Emperor) to save the freakin' world from Dagon. The Stormcloaks and Thalmor technically owe the Empire a lot. However, the Thalmor (bastards that they are) decided to attack them instead. Plus, according to Zipper, Mede wanted the Concordat for peace (which he didn't) meaning he's not a warlord. And apparently, the Thalmor did have a greater army during the Great War. If the Empire had a greater army, would we be having this conversation? No. Additionally, Ulfric is the reason the Thalmor are cracking down as well as the reason we have the Forsworn.That's a double negative for Skyrim, courtesy of Jarl Ulfric.
