"If-less" conditional

And he said of the Russian president: “He continues on this course he is on, he is going to become a pariah worldwide, and goodness knows what he becomes at home.”

I read the sentence in inverted commas as a conditional one despite the lack of the conditional "if" there.

Am I correct?
