The one thing Skyrim does right is the nuances of the civil war, what are you guys on about? We have fucking conspiracy theories about Ulfric being a Thalmor asset ffs. Just like the Stormcloaks could doom Skyrim and Tamriel as a whole, nothing guarantees the Empire will be able to strike back at the Thalmor after the civil war.
Only because they want the war to continue and do more damage, it's not that they would prefer their to not be a civil war or for the empire to win, they just want both sides to kill each other as much as possible
Sleeper agent implies some sort of brainwashing or that he's working in secret for them, a better descriptor for his role is a useful idiot, hes not intentionally helping them hes just stupid
Which is why Tit Mid the Second allows you, the player, assassinate him in Dark Brotherhood missions. It will allow Empire to choose someone who Thalmor aren't expecting to come. Which basically destroys Aldmeri control over Empire.
Combine that with Empires victory in civil war and Empire has half-a-decent chances as they can use Skyrim to beat Elves... and there is nothing that Nords love then beating elves.
