不是，因为前面已经有了分号。分号后面只能接完整的句子如果我没有记错的话。

for nations, like individuals, can find themselves locked into difficult positions, unable to back down. 是for 引导的表示因为什么的从句的话就不是一句句子了?

我是这样理解的，"for" works as "because" in this case. So the sentence reads, "because nations can find themselves locked into difficult positions, unable to back down."

unable to back down没有主语和谓语诶，不是主句吧

我觉得应该是修饰语, 修饰 "difficult positions"，但是不是很确定。
