Joining NATO really didn't change the situation in practice at all.

Russia has been shouting the "only defending against NATO" line for decades, as an excuse for annex other countries and/or threatening them. A move like this shows they don't even believe it themselves.

We've had a pretty stable if salty relationship with Russia, since, well... quite a few hundred years since.

Calling the Winter War "salty" is maybe a bit too relaxed. I'm guessing the Karelians would feel somewhat more strongly about it.
