Ideally, it would have been. We can have our alliances, assist out allies with training, etc. but didn't need a global police force threatening countries who don't stand on the right side of the line
What Finland even does with a military? Finland is tiny country with tiny military that couldn't stop Russia anyways. The war between Finland and Russia would be over in hours.
I have only ever been to Finland (Helsinki) for work and not seen the country much so maybe I am being unfair but it seems like a depressing grey waste of space with nothing going for it.

You're 100% correct. Finland is one of the ugliest countries in the world with nothing but grey soviet blocs. People live like sardines in small grey apartments.
There's a reason why Finland has the highest suicide rate in the world.
Simo Häyhä: The 'White Death' Sniper
In less than 100 days, Simo Häyhä killed at least 500 enemy troops during the Winter War — earning him the nickname the "White Death."
Trump was right when he asked why do we even still need NATO.
NATO is a relic from history that has no purpose anymore, it should have been dismantled when Soviet Union collapsed.

The so-called, never to materialize, peace dividend.

One would think. Read Frozen Hell. The Finns severely punished the Soviets for every foot of ground. It certainly wasn't a matter of hours.

That's not it. Let me find it.

Finns are tough. Example:

Not really. Finns are feminized & sissified, Finnish men cry when their pussies hurt.
History disagrees but finns were tougher then
Russia killed all of its best generals and Russia actually beated Finland easily when the general in charge was replaced to a more capable one.
Today Finland would stand no chance against Russian military might with its tiny & pathetic military. Even most of Finnish weapons are old & obsolete.
