If this were true, then why is she doing the Horde's bidding? She has no use for Gilneas from the perspective of the Forsaken. Her belligerence against Gilneas brought on the help of the Alliance. So if anything, Sylvanas betrayed her own people by proving to the Alliance that the Forsaken don't deserve to be left alone and are a threat to Azeroth---all on the orders of the Horde. Why do the bidding of the Horde at the detriment of her own people?
She carries out the orders of the war chief because she is a selfish, power-hungry tyrant who will stop at nothing to exact revenge for her personal grievances. She hopes to gain favour within the Horde as a way to increase her own power. Whether this means bringing torment down upon innocent Gilneans or risking the very existence of her people matters not to her. To her, the Forsaken are mere pawns and she is their queen. They are expendable to her. She has a one-track mind, and she's only concerned about looking after number one. She is probably the most selfish leader amongst the Horde, especially considering her fragile (i.e. selfish) allegiance to them.
She will betray anyone to fulfill her own personal desires. She is fuelled by rage and is consumed by self-centeredness.

I repeat, her people are threatened at every corner. The Gilneans may not have started this war, but their attitude to the undead is as negative as anyone else. As the Traitor Greymane the Wicked had already through his pride made half of his nation into wild beasts that roamed the area attacking anyone and everyone, it was NECESSARY for Sylvanas to occupy the lands of Gilneas to protect her people from the ravages of the werewolves which you admit that Greymane the Wicked had created.

As I said: if she were worried about the survival of her people, she wouldn't have given cause for the Alliance to move against her. Sure, the Alliance already had a negative view of the Forsaken, but all Sylvanas has done is proven it true. It is Sylvanas's fault that the Alliance now views the Forsaken as an active and belligerent threat that seeks to destroy the Gilneans.
Her missteps are far more disastrous than anything Greymane did. At least it's clear that Greymane cares for his people. I think Sylvanas is no longer capable of caring for anyone but herself and her quest for vengeance against anyone or anything.
She is filled with blind hatred.
