The Thalmor are definetly the most dangerous organization. Why? Let's just look at the facts:
-They could beat the Empire in a war (Please don't start a war discussion)
-They could remove the moons
-They are the ones who stopped the Daedra from invading the Summerset Isles
-We know that Landfall happened sometime in the 5th Era, which means that the Thalmor did succeed in destroying all Towers
-They are responsible for the destruction of the Falinesti Tower, the Khajiit Tower and indirectly for the fall of Snow Throat
Their deception is also what makes them so powerful. Anyways, the Thalmor will win. It's unknown when they will, but they are definetly the biggest threat to all people in Tamriel.
1. Lies, they lost a lot of soldiers when the Imperial City was retaken and they only worked for peace to recover. While it is possible they could have won the war without the peace they wouldn't have been able to survive the aftermath. The war in Hammerfall after the White-Gold was signed didn't help them either since they basically lost that war.
2. I seriously doubt they had the power to remove the moons, if they managed to do that why haven't they conquered the whole world yet? As others have said I believe that the Thalmor lied to the Khajiit about the Moons and have worked to maintain their new slave kingdoms.
3. The Argonians did it on their own as well, it's not unique to just the Thalmor. Also did the Thalmor have any proof about that?
4-5. What? The Thalmor had very little with dealing with the Towers. The only one they had any indirect responsibility to was the Snow-Throat Tower.
Their deception has obviously clouded your vision. lol I belive that the Dragonborn achieved CHIM when he loved the world enough to stop Alduin, so Nirn won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
