Which is what the expansion of NATO was always about. NATO isn't a threat to Russia itself - if Russia seriously feared NATO aggression, it wouldn't voluntarily demilitarize its NATO borders during the past 13 months.
NATO expansion just neutralizes Russian ability to force its will upon its neighbors through threat of aggression (or in case like Ukraine through the use of aggression).

Yes. Because Finland joining NATO is direct response to Russia attacking Ukraine. The snub makes sense for two reasons:
- Russia invaded under pretext of "we are afraid of NATO".
- It prevents Russia from attacking Finland. They are less likely to attack NATO members and more likely to attack countries outside of the aliance.

The smart view of that is that regardless of whatever ridiculous arguments for Russian imperialism people want to engage in Russia is not physically capable of conquering the Baltic states.
