They're not moderate rebels their terrorists. If Saudi Arabia who prescribes to Sharia Law are coming to the defense of "moderate rebels" in Syria, you know they're terrorists.

No one has shown a drone or satellite footage of such convoy travelling back ond forth between Syria - Turkey.
wouldn't the Russians have satellite pictures of this alleged convoy of 2000 trucks , day in day out ?
Is Turkey Really Benefiting From Oil Trade With ISIS?
Analysts say claims by Russian President Vladimir Putin don't hold water
Erdogan has vociferously denied the claims, saying he would resign if Russia backed up its claims with proof. But Russia’s accusations aren’t the first time Turkey has been cited as a destination for crude oil sold by ISIS. An October report by AP claimed that ISIS is extracting about 30,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Syria, much of which ends up in Turkey.
Fawaz Gerges, Professor of International Relations in the London School of Economics and Political Science, agrees that the claims amount to a conspiracy theory. “I think it would be very misleading to say there is an unholy alliance with Turkey and the Islamic State,” he says.

Turks consume 600.000 barrells of oil everday .
Syria produces 40.000 barrells per day approx.
To carry all of Syria's oil to Turkey , you would need a convoy of 2000 trucks , making a round trip of few hundred miles , everday.

The Russians already did taken a drone footage of the Turkish oil trucks moving from Syria to Turkey. Russia was bombing these oil trucks the moment they started the air intervention.
Kurds provided the Russians with the Intel.

Kurds and those in the area already informed Russia of trucks moving into Turkey.

Of course, this whole operation is being conducted by Russian and Turkish mafias, coordinated by the FSB.
You have not even begun to debunk the Russian connection.

If they want to prove that Russia is so wrong about the oil being smuggled into Turkey why dont they just go near the border in Turkey?
Oh yeah i forget Turkey's Democratic government wouldn't allow journalists near such a checkpoint.
yields regular and lots of evidence of reporting from border .

Not without the permission of Erdoğan and journalists cant go in recent areas of the borders, dont try to paint Erdoğan as a Saint or a demcartic figure.
