Consider Sweden's geography along coast of the Baltic Sea ; joining NATO would basically close this path to the Atlantic Ocean for the Russian Navy.
Well, at least if enough missiles and/or fighter jets are placed on its soil by NATO countries to effectively close the Baltic Sea in case of war.

Given how narrow Öresund is, I'm fairly sure conventional artillery (not to mention missiles...) could cover the entire strait from the coast of NATO member Denmark. I doubt Sweden would protest too loudly about this incursion on her territorial waters, if she lets the Russian navy do the same first... And even if she does, so what?
