Could the Balrog use the One Ring?

[Lord of Angmar]

Balrogs had commanded armies in the First Age, so there is no reason to suppose that this one would not have been able to do so.

I remain skeptical of a Balrog's ability to wage a multi-theater war (which it certainly would have had to have been) against Sauron, with or without a Ring. And of course I am skeptical that a Balrog would ever have the will to do such a thing. I agree largely with what you are saying though, Saucepan. Great find on that quote (you are far more adept at finding pertinent examples in different parts of Tolkien's text than I am). My compliments as always. Excellent post.

Cheers,
Angmar
