Barnes was a WW2 soldier who was captured and tortured as a POW, only to be saved by his now-buff 95-lbs weakling best friend. He fought alongside Rogers for an unspecified number of months, until he was thrown from a train.
After that, he was captured by the same mad scientist and brainwashed into a remorseless killing machine. His recovery from being so was long, and involved first being on the run, then a superhero civil war, and then some years as a guest of a mythical African kingdom.
Then endgame happened, and the whole darn world had one of two traumatic shocks. Barnes had some lingering trauma afterwards, but can be seen working through it in Falcon and Winter Soldier.
It’s been a few years, but not once did they show him screaming at hydra in Russian.
In Thunderbolts, Barnes is literally the only team member to have actually come to terms with the terrible things he did. (Followed closely by Red Guardian). Whatever trauma he did experience was almost certainly something he had already processed.
I don’t know what you mean. Can you elaborate?
