Depredations, inflicted
Hi, Does "Depredations" mean attacks or damage?
I think that for "Inflicted' it's like in this sentence "Enforce the law on state" ?
" ...through the Democratic caucus. In truth, he shared them.

inflicted on the country, the sense of urgency about taking back the White House was bordering on manic."
