>is the stated goal of the Empire in TES
Bait or retardedness.
The empire had 25 years to rebuild, during which they did nothing. Ulfric's rebellion was the ultimatum to the empire's status quo: either they butcher their own citizens crippling themselves for the benefit of the elves (thus adding at least an entire 20 years more necessary to recuperate when they did jack in the last 25 and only became weaker to the point Cyrodiil citizens are fleeing to Skyrim), or they made a deal with Ulfric to secure Skyrim's help in the next war and use the province as a base of operations away from Thalmor eyes.
The empire chose option 1. So they're ruined, the Blades are gone and replaced by a worthless ersatz, the nobles are overwhelmingly corrupt and collaborate for their own profit with the elves, the military is crippled and watched from every angle, the elites can be forced to come unarmed to a room in the middle of nowhere surrounded by Thalmor guards, and even the Council wants to kill the Emperor.
Give me one reasonable logical scenario of how the empire would fight back, that accounts for why they chose to butcher their own potential army by refusing to ally with Skyrim and instead deciding to massacre them (including even their healers).
