Even if you take the most extreme interpretation of US responsibility possible (eg adding another 1-1.7 million people for "luring" the Soviet Union into attacking Afghanistan), you don't get to 25 million

Bullshit. One single US (+EU) policy, economic sanctions, has murdered 38 million in the past 50 Years and keeps murdering 500k yearly. One single policy.
