[mcu] In civil war Bucky says the other winter soldiers are powerful enough to take down an entire country in a couple of days. What does that mean and could they accomplish it.

To quote the film

> Cap: Said he wanted to see an empire fall. 

> Bucky: With these guys, he could do it. They speak 30 languages, can hide in plain sight... infiltrate, assassinate, destabilise. They can take a whole country down in one night, you'd never see them coming.

What Bucky is suggesting is that they are effectively covert operatives, who can get close to a target and then assassinate, or sabotage. Whilst not at cap's level, it's implied they are better soldiers than Bucky, and so could probably get past most security measures fairly easily. There are enough of them that if they planned to take down the leadership/significant figures in a single night they probably could do so, effectively throwing a country into chaos.

SPOILERS CIVIL WAR

Don't know how effective they would be in the real world, but in the MCU, Zemo was able to hit the UN whilst the accord hearing was in process. Not unreasonable that combined he and they could do much worse in other countries.
