Back onto the topic at hand.
Galmar and Ulfric are going to get many Nords killed in their suicide mission of taking their army to the Dominion.
"But you're willing to sacrifice thousands for your own selfish ambitions." - General Tullius
Ulfric and Emperor Titus Mede II seems to have something in common. I guess both parties are just as guilty for willing to sacrifice thousands for their own selfish ambition according to Tullius
Wasn't it Mede II undoing when he essentially told the Thalmor to piss off when they offered him an ultimatum? You know ban Talos worshiping and the detachments of the Blades? Of course Mede II had to show just how macho he truly is, and rejected the ultimatum while his Generals pleaded him to reconsider because the Empire was not healthy enough to sustain a war at the time. The Thalmor was insulted by Titus and raided the city. While he did captured the Thalmor General at the end it accomplished nothing. The Thalmor still got what they wanted... White-Gold Concordat.
If Ulfric has blood on his hands, as General Tullius suggested, then he also has blood on his... since he is an Empire Representative.
Titus Mede II wasn't being selfish, his actions throughout the war and the fact he went for peace instead of taking the remnants of the Legions on a suicide death run into the heart of Elsweyr and Valenwood and then onto Summertset Isles.
Titus II wasn't showing off how "macho" he was, he fought because the Empire would be destroyed. The Emperor's Generals never pleaded anything, you're adding head canon.
Despite the warnings of his generals of the Empire's military weakness, Emperor Titus Mede II rejected the ultimatum.
Also there was a reason the Ultimatum was rejected.
No part of the Empire would have accepted these terms in 4E 171, dictated by the Thalmor at swords-point. Titus II would have faced civil war. By 4E 175, most of the Empire welcomed peace at almost any price.
Though this is an interesting stance for you, condemn the Empire for fighting the Aldmeri Dominion instead of laying down to them. Like you would of been an Empire supporter then? If they had just laid down and let the Thalmor in without a fight. I'm completely sure you would be picking up the banner of the Empire then...
The Thalmor were insulted and "raided the city" ? I would hardly call four years of warfare as being raided.
Also for twenty six years the White-Gold Concordat has been in effect without much incident. Only until Ulfric Stormcloak which is a Thalmor asset allowed them to enforce the treaty to extreme. No one paid attention to the Talos Ban, they all still worshiped Talos without problems, people secretly worshiping were quite safe under the Empire. Since the Thalmor can't touch an Imperial citizen without evidence.
"We didn't pay much attention to it when I was a boy - everyone still had their little shrine to Talos. But then Ulfric and his "Sons of Skyrim" started agitating about it, and sure enough the Emperor had to crack down." - Alvor
"Ulfric founded the Stormcloaks years ago, as a sort of private army to advance his ambitions. He's always used the ban on the worship of Talos to stir people up against the Empire. He never succeeded in getting much support..." - Hadvar
They do most of the other stuff in secret away from the Empire. Take a look at the head of the Thalmor Justiciars, he can't even arrest one Nord in Markarth because the Jarl won't call for his arrest without evidence.
The difference between Titus Mede II and Ulfric Stormcloak. Titus has more honor, Titus fought for his people, not just himself or for the throne. If the Emperor cared so much about his throne he would of agreed to the ultimatum. Titus II accepted the treaty just like High Rock did and Skyrim did. Skyrim's great respected High King accepted it and Ulfric did not even dare make a move against him. Not until after his death did Ulfric finally challenge the man's son.
So tell me, who is the true coward? The one who kills innocents to force the Empire to allow Ulfric and his men worship during the Markarth Incident. The one who doesn't dare face an aging High King but instead fights his son who has barely any fighting skills. Not that it mattered since Ulfric used the Thu'um.
Before going on about how Tullius surrendered, you had to win the Civil War to get Tullius to surrender. Ulfric surrendered without a fight to Tullius or are you forgetting this...
"Ulfric rode right into our ambush with only a few bodyguards. He surrendered pretty meekly, too. So much for his death-or-glory reputation." - Hadvar
