First Bold: Then why can't you see that the Thalmor want the Rebellion to continue, and weaken humanity as a whole in the process?
Second Bold: Oh, right, you love the rebels, and can't see that the rebels are the tools here.
I don't love the rebels. I can understand their cause and their overwhelming frustration at what their politicians are doing to them due to the fact that they didn't win the war due to bad intelligence on their side.
I know exactly what the Stormcloaks are feeling and have to deal with because I'm in the same booth as they are. Both my local and federal government is essentially threatening me with prison time if I decided to take a certain route to a medical treatment that can help levitate some of my medical conditions.
The worship of Talos is the Nordic way of life. The Thalmor knew that this would happen, and knew that people would react over the ban of Talos. That's why they forced the Emperor to ban the worship of Talos, to get people angry at the Empire. How exactly is the rebels considered a tool when the Empire is just as much as a tool as the rebels? If the Empire was smart they would've separate the provinces that they rule with a guarantee treaty of being allies. With High Rock, Hammerfell and Skyrim have their own rulers the Thalmor would have absolutely no jurisdiction over them due to the fact that it's no longer the province of the Empire. The only country that the Thalmor can legally harass is Cyrodiil.

Feel like this should be addressed. Do you think the Thalmor do things legally? They're skilled at espionage, and infiltration. They didn't have a legal document granting them access into Cyrodiil around 4E 40, yet they were there causing issues.
The Empire has a good chance of winning, just look how desperate the Thalmor are. They had to go to Solstheim to try and get weapons. They actually pay you for Stalhrim weapons and armor.
If you convince him to leave, "Very well, you have convinced me. We will depart the island shortly and seek our weapons elsewhere."
They're desperate for weapons and armor to use against the Empire in the next war. Don't you see why the Civil War is needed, to distract the Empire to give the Thalmor time to regain strength.

To be fair the Empire is just as desperate as the Thalmor. They sent over a spy to Markarth to infiltrate Cindah Mine, and to essentially take over it so they can have 100% access the silver that is being produced in the mine.
Both parties want to look their very best for the incoming war. I don't find anything wrong with other team desperately finding resource that will better their chance of winning. Had the Empire found the rare Stalhrim material in Solstheim they would be station there to be collecting as many weapons and armor as possible.
Jeremius, Oh quit with your obvious deep worship of DrukenMage already. He voiced his opinion and it must be true whereas if someone voiced their opinions differently they must be wrong, is that how it goes around here?

It shows the Thalmor are desperate for better weapons and armor. The Empire isn't desperate where they need to kidnap a smith to forge them gear. The Thalmor for all their boasting and big talk about 'allowing' the Empire to live, seem to be trying to find better weapons and gear to face the Legion with.
With the Legions at the borders, they'll be hit with everything the Empire has.
While I agree with the above post for the most part, don't forget the Thalmor use lots of Elven Armor and Weapons. An Elven Dagger has the equivalent damage of an Cyrodil / Skyrim Steel Sword.
In addition to this, the Aldmeri Army also uses Elven bows and GLASS WEAPONS / Armor.
I think the reason the Thalmor are in Solstheim is to bring back ancient weapons and artifacts for study, much the same as Ancano's reason for being at Winterhold.
It's unlikely the Thalmor are using a 'bake sale' to get resources for the troops. More likely they're looking for way to strengthen what they already have. Or ways to cheaply reproduce something more effective.
Weapons and equipment are nice, but it comes down to tactics and skill.
I do not even like DrunkenMage. I just do not see the world in Stormcloak, Stormcloak, Stormcloak like you do. I see the world in a "we need to do this" kind of way.

OK why do you hate DrunkenMage? We think differently regarding to Tamriel politics, but i don't hate the man
They don't mention the silver, but the prison. It's controlled by Stormcloak supporters, where some of the most dangerous in the Reach are imprisoned.
The Empire already has access to the silver, wagons from Markarth are sent to Solitude at times. Tullius sent the Agent for one purpose, which is what she mentions.
On my life, I won't allow a group of Stormcloak sympathizers to own the prison to the most notorious criminals of the Reach. They say no one escapes. Why? Is it really that secure?
The Empire had been stationed on that island for over a hundred years, even had a presence until it was handed over to the Dunmer. They know a lot about Stalhrim.

I'm pretty sure that it was more than just dangerous prisoners that they were thinking of and who are those most notorious criminals that she was speaking about? The Forsworn? Yeah they're criminals for fighting to regain back their region that the Empire had stolen from them by hiring Ulfric and his Talos worshiping men to take it back. The reach was quite peaceful under Forsworn control for 2 years up until the Empire forced their influences.
Look at the weight and the ratings of both. It's safe to say that they do not know a whole lot about this material.
