Question:
The tripled morale point loss for Belgian REs during I AUG appears irrelevant because when Belgium loses all its major cities and fortresses, it automatically falls to zero morale points and the Belgian army and geography aren’t big enough to allow the country to be collapsed before that event…how many points it loses when it collapses has no meaning, whether 1 or 70 the effect is identical

Answer:
No actual morale point loss is useless. IF Belgium surrenders the points would simply disappear, naturally. But you are only looking at the short term effects. The rules must cover the effects of game/history activities for completeness.
