Though he was clearly insane, he was also intelligent enough to realize that, if things continued in the current trajectory, the decrepit and corrupt Soviet Union would eventually collapse under its own weight, as it eventually did in OTL. As a fanatical communist/Russian nationalist, he was willing to do anything to stave off such a scenario. If his scheme resulted in unilateral western nuclear disarmament, so much the better. But if his plan only resulted in the West retaliating, resulting in World War III, that would also have been fine for him. Orlov would have rather had the USSR burned to ashes around him, along with the rest of the world, than see it crumble and lose the Cold War to the hated West.
