I guess that would be a matter of perspective then.
If Sauron had sufficient power to stand against BOTH Morgoth and the Valar... that is a foregone conclusion.
If Sauron had power to release Morgoth but no power to stand against the Valar... He might comtemplate releasing Morgy if he see the Valar landing on his shores.
If Sauron had power to release Morgoth and the power to stand against the Valar... Poor Morgy...
But Sauron could not possibly stand against the Valar unless his powers can grow like a tree. (Neither could Morgy) And in a typical Prof T setting, you will find that 'Evil do not prosper' is written in every corner.
