Ice is water not land, it might be solid enough to move across, but it doesn't give ownership under existing international accords. Other than that were mostly going around in circles, we disagree, and I think we've been through this enough to understand how we disagree, so there is probably no need to explain the disagreements again and again. I think it likely that some agreement will be reached at some point, even if no official agreement is reached there will probably be an understanding that keeps the issue from ever becoming a major problem. (Yes I know there is an agreement already but it only covers ice breakers, it doesn't deal with submarines and it doesn't deal with the possibility of some of the ice melting allowing surface ships to move through without ice breakers.)
