"As I know Galmar and Ulfric well, neither of them ever state marching an Army to Alinor."

If you talk to Galmar in the Palace of the Kings and ask him "What are the aims of this war?", he'll tell you that once the Empire is gone and Skyrim is back on its feet, "we will take our army to the Dominion and show those pointy-eared bastards not every man is fit to be their slave". Maybe that was just Galmar getting all dramatic, but it's hard to say for certain. It does sound like marching on Alinor is one of Ulfric's long-term plans, though, possibly as a revenge attack for the huge number of Nords who died in the Great War.
