"So you think that four of Skyrim's holds can fight of the Dominion? They don't have any other nations on their side. And yes, it is dissapointing to think the Legion, albeit crippled by the Oblivion Crisis, lost to the Thalmor, but I have a feeling that the Legion will pull through".


 * Well since Hammerfell a province that succeeded from the empire after The Great War took no breaks, lost the southern portion of their land during the war, and is geographically located in front of two Thalmor controlled provinces  was able to hold out and is still continuing to hold out against the Thalmor for two decades I think Skyrim's holds can hold really well against the Thalmor since they are geographically located on the other side of the continent surrounded by two provinces of the empire dampening any on foot invasion without starting another war with the Empire and crossing by ocean would force them two go through another two hostile groups a province controlled by the Empire and Hammerfell a province known for their aptitude in naval warfare forcing them in another possible war with either one. and the Empire have no advantages the Thalmor are causing major political strife to greatly weaken the Empire they have free gain to roam around the Empire controlled provinces while the Empire hasn't seen Summerset isle since 4E 29 and the Emperor has been assassinated again ant this has happened three times in the past and had extreme consequences why wouldn't the Thalmor take this to their advantage and just attack now that the Empire is one province short and one province weaken you really think the Empire despite all of their crippling faults and horrid decision making can some how pull through for no reason without some sort of divine intervention to aid the again.
