And the cause is Ulfric. He made it. They are not going to rebel against him unless the situation is that dire. It takes a long time for that. Ulfric is on the track to become High King (selfish, if you ask me). He has gained the support of at least half the providence. They will listen to him, until he plays a Denithor from LOTR and is a coward (which won't necessarily happen, just pointing it out). They won't just rebel for something as simple as wanting to invade (they followed him before, and will respect his judgement now for a long time, at least).
