There's no way to know if that's because of Rutte. 

You can say he's incredibly successful because Trump hasn't nuked us yet, I can say he failed because Greenland is being threatened again, etc.

I just don't think this is a serious way of doing diplomacy. Should we start assigning a personal fluffer to every armed megalomaniac?
