Failure to secure the server as evidence and subsequent analysis by a contractor would likely have violated chain of custody to the degree that any evidence derived couldn't be used. We also have the issue of needing a "second opinion" or analysis that can be peer-reviewed.
Nuclear needs to be un-demonized?
We came extremely close to an extinction-level event with the situation at the Fukushima plant. Not due to the reactor meltdown, but because the spent fuel rod pond was damaged. Had the water in the storage pond dropped low enough for a micrometer of the rods to become exposed to air, all remaining water would have boiled off, and all rods would have aerosolized enough radioactive contaminants to kill nearly every organism on the planet.
We need to be getting nuclear waste off of this planet as soon as possible. We cannot trust that government continuity, war, a solar event, or some other catastrophe will not lead to a situation where nuclear waste is not successfully contain in perpetuity and the entire biosphere is so severely compromised that the planet is killed.
Borders, language, and culture are all important for the survival of a political state.
Borders define what is and isn't lawful, and what rights/protection those who live within those borders have.
Language is critical to business, trade, political discourse, and official communications. You highlighted this yourself when you began to explore the difficulty of translation due to the confluence of language and culture.
Culture is obviously critical for common identity and to reduce the potential of "othering" that often leads to tribal violence and exclusion.
Ethno-nationalism is not what's being promoted by Donald Trump, despite how much you may wish to draw ties.

I recommend you listen to this talk given by Bannon to the Black Americans for a Better Future PAC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It was ethno-nationalist. Taxonomically different than nationalist.
