Maybe a more-fair question would be what would he do about a very similar set of circumstances today, e.g. a modern-day Hitler (Hitler at least in terms of military aggression), given what we know now.

I have heard him rail against preemptive strikes but I think that they might be justified at times.
But your example itself isn't a preemptive strike. Japan bombed the US, and then Germany declared war on us.
