Couldn't that power be used to take control over Bitcoin chain?

Tbh we probably already have that. Five Eyes is wildly held to control 50% of the TOR nodes, bitcoin cant be that much less of a priority.

no. safety of bitcoin is based on cryptography, not lack of electrical power. that would be most bizarre case of security through obscurity.
