Of course he's insane, or impressively short-sighted. He wanted to take on the Empire and drive it out, slaughtering his people in the process, and probibly leading to the eventual downfall at the hands of either the Dominion OR Empire - If he didn't take a war to them first. It's not Ulfric who sent a legion of emperial soldiers(led by the empires greatest military strategist) and started recruiting nords. Ulfric was hoping for the Empire to step out of skyrim, like they did with Hammerfell when they told the empire to fuck off for selling Redguard land.
