Blue looks like it would have an advantage in a war against red but it seems more evenly matched than the original. And the red states seems like more rugged, tougher places. If I was a different country the blue area feels like the easiest to invade.

(It's pretty weird that I feel comfortable making these nonsensical judgments about blotches of color. Also, feel free to discount my opinion if you think I'm vested in the outcome as the author of the OP)

When I look at the color-flipped map, I feel like the red area is aggressively penetrating the blue area. When I look at the regular map, I feel like the red is pushing the blue against a wall. Color's influence on our perceptions is weird.
