no, Skyrim does NOT need the empire to protect them. If Skyrim wins independence, then the Imperial Legion will have less area to defend and not that many less troops than before which can be turned into a great advantage.. plus, Skyrim will field its own armies which will probably be more organized since the Generals will all be from Skyrim and chances are nearly everyone eligible would join the army through fear of Thalmor occupation (example: USA, WW2). Not to mention that surely every non-elven controlled province would ally together to stop the Thalmor. And Ulfric has the ultimate weapon, the power of the shout and the Dragonborn, at his disposal which make Skyrim a much more fearsome place.
