@comradeconventrix Let's start with "units". A "unit" is every considerable force in the political system. These units always aim for security. To accomplish that, they use certain strategies. They either built up their capabilities to wage war or they cling to a stronger unit or they form an alliance to balance out the power. The basis is that every other power is seen as a potential thread - so if we have the classical cold war scenario - there were two units who made the system, so if one side gained power, the other would always feel threadened and aimed to get power. This is called the security dilemma which is the main reason units act as tehy do.
