Conditionals
- Hi there. Please tell if the second conditional fits here, as my teacher posits that for unreal situations one can use 3 rd conditional even relative to the present and future . And can't understand why the author talks of Kissinger))) Thanks. "Pope Innocent III felt increasingly helpless, partly thanks to the independent actions of his man on the spot, Peter Capuano, who no doubt if he were alive today would follow in the footsteps of Henry Kissinger and gain the Nobel peace prize. Innocent watched horrified as first, in 1202, the Crusaders wrecked the Adriatic city of Zara, which was actually under the overlordship of a fellow Crusader, but had made the mistake of annoying the Venetians." https://www.google.ru/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/books/2004/apr/03/historybooks.highereducation
