Could the Balrog use the One Ring?

[Lord of Angmar]

If the Balrog were to ensnare the Ring there is no chance that he would have handed it over to Sauron.

If the Balrog were to use the Ring against Sauron it would actually make Sauron stronger.

I disagree with both of these statements. I will address the latter first. It seems to me essentially impossible that an assault upon Sauron by a powerful Maiar wielding the One Ring, presumably backed by a sizeable force, would help Sauron. It might help him succeed in regaining the Ring, yes, but even that is conditional, and either way he would be guaranteed to lose a great portion of his military force.

As for the former statement, I have already explained why I disagree. You say that "the Balrog...would not have very far to fall into claiming it [the Ring] as his own as Frodo did." I am inclined to disagree. At the time that the Fellowship passed through Moria (the only logical time for a Balrog to claim the One Ring, obviously), I believe that every orc, as well as the Balrog and the Watcher in the Water, were formally or informally subject to Sauron.
