With the potential permanent loss of so much power, how could he
not expect it?
After all, it was over 1000 years into the Third Age before he was able to regain enough power to become the Necromancer in Dol Guldur, and even longer before he was able to return to Mordor and rebuild his forces, And that was with the simple
loss of the Ring.
Again, why the 'choking fear' felt as Frodo claimed the Ring? Fear of Frodo? Hardly.
Sauron was deathly afraid of what could happen if he did not arrive in time to save the Ring.
He obviously didn't need it to defeat Minas Tirith and Rohan. If he was unaware of the effect the destruction of the Ring would have, why not shrug his shoulders at Frodo, continue to crush the forces of the West, and tell himself he would deal with the impudent little Hobbit when he had more time?
Instead, he immediately pulls
all remaining Nazgûl from their duties bringing fear and despair to his enemies engaged in a decisive battle, and sends them to Mt. Doom. Seems a very desperate and terrified reaction to me.
